  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 1 185 km (~1h29)

To verify if your flight between Alicante and Paris is eligible for a payout, the determining criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Paris-Orly Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation
