Your Eurolot flight from Rzeszow to Rome was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 192 km, Eurolot is held to a payout requirement if boarding is denied.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Rzeszow (RZE)
  • Arrival airport: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
  • Flight distance: 1 192 km (~1h29)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Unlike what {many think|Eurolot might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

How to know if the flight Eurolot Rzeszow - Rome is eligible?

The compensation for RZE→FCO is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

To recap: three scenarios activate the 250€ payment on Eurolot Rzeszow→Rome: delay ≥3h, cancellation <14 days, or overbooking. Check which applies without delay.

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rome.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Eurolot compensation

When a strike impacts your route to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, {the airline|Eurolot} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Eurolot?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
