Refund and compensation Brussels Airlines: route Milano to Brussels

If your trip departing from Malpensa International Airport and arriving at Brussels Airport operated by Brussels Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Milano and Brussels (665 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Brussels Airlines.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Brussels Airlines.

How to know if the flight Brussels Airlines Milano - Brussels is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Brussels Airlines offers you a voucher for your Milano - Brussels flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Milano, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Milano airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Brussels Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Malpensa International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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