Flight compensation Delta Air Lines:
Milano — New York

Refund and compensation Delta Air Lines: route Milano to New York

Your claim for compensation for the Delta Air Lines flight from Milano to New York deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Malpensa International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 6 413 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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

How to know if the flight Delta Air Lines Milano - New York is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at New York. If Delta Air Lines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at John F Kennedy International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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 Delta Air Lines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at New York.
• 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 Delta Air Lines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Delta Air Lines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Milano - New York trip is due to an internal strike within Delta Air Lines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Delta Air Lines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Malpensa International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Delta Air Lines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Malpensa International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
