Flight compensation Flybaboo:
Geneva — Lugano

Procedure: Flybaboo flight compensation from Geneva to Lugano

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Flybaboo did not respect its scheduled times for your Geneva - Lugano flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 217 km of flight, the company Flybaboo is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lugano Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Flybaboo owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Flybaboo GVA-LUG flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Geneva.

What are the conditions for Flybaboo to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Flybaboo compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Geneva - Lugano trip is due to an internal strike within Flybaboo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Geneva Cointrin International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Flybaboo has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Flybaboo must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Geneva.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Flybaboo will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
