Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Bilbao — Milano

Legal right to compensation: Iberia Airlines flight between Bilbao and Milano

The BIO - MXP route operated by Iberia Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Bilbao and Milano (958 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

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.

Did you know? Even if Iberia Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Bilbao Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Bilbao - Milano is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Milano. If Iberia Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Malpensa International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Iberia Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Iberia Airlines 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 Bilbao airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Bilbao Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Iberia Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Iberia Airlines?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Iberia Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Bilbao Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Bilbao - Milano line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
