How to be compensated by Iberia Airlines on the Bologna (BLQ) - Paris (ORY) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Iberia Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Bologna - Paris flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 824 km of flight, the company Iberia Airlines 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
