Pisa — London

Legal right to compensation: British Airways flight between Pisa and London

The PSA - LHR route operated by British Airways experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Pisa and London (1 186 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by British Airways.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
