Flight compensation Finnair:
Florence — Vienna

Your entitlement: Finnair flight from Florence to Vienna

The flight FLR → VIE by Finnair suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Florence and Vienna (633 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Finnair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

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

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Vienna|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Finnair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Finnair.
