Flight compensation Flybaboo:
Palermo — Lampedusa

Refund and compensation Flybaboo: route Palermo to Lampedusa

Your claim for compensation for the Flybaboo flight from Palermo to Lampedusa deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 301 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 commercial gesture from Flybaboo, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Flybaboo Palermo - Lampedusa is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Palermo and Lampedusa entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Flybaboo to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Flybaboo compensation

Don't be fooled by Flybaboo's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Flybaboo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Flybaboo, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Palermo shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PMO-LMP trip.
