Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 483 km, Flybaboo is held to a payout requirement if the flight is cancelled.

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: Firenze / Peretola Airport (FLR)
  • Flight distance: 483 km (~0h36)

How to know if the flight Flybaboo Geneva - Florence is eligible?

The compensation for GVA→FLR 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.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Geneva airport.
