You travelled with American Airlines from Bologna to London and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Bologna and London (1 163 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by American Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?
