Claim and compensation for flight British Airways Venice - London

If your trip departing from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport and arriving at London City Airport operated by British Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

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.

  • Arrival airport: London City Airport (LCY)
  • Flight distance: 1 123 km (~1h24)

This is not a commercial gesture from British Airways, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight British Airways Venice - London is eligible?

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to British Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Venice, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

What are your rights at Venice airport in case of prolonged wait?
