Don't miss this opportunity: the Iberia Airlines flight Florence - Bari (544 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Arrival airport: Bari / Palese International Airport (BRI)
  • Flight distance: 544 km (~0h41)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

CE 261/2004 is one of the most robust passenger protection laws globally. Every eligible passenger should taking advantage of it.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Florence - Bari is eligible?

Be sure to retain your flight records for the Iberia Airlines FLR→BRI flight. They constitute the key proof of your check-in.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Florence, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Florence, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Iberia Airlines. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Florence→Bari flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

The key advantage: they absorb 100% of the risk and only charge when the 250€ case is won.

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

The irony: the longer Iberia Airlines stalls paying your 250€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.

By handing over the recovery of your 250€ to a professional service, you avoid long delays and the anxiety of seeing your case shelved, as follow-ups are handled by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a standardised negative response is unfortunately the experience of most passengers who act without support for the Florence → Bari route.

The success rate of specialist firms against Iberia Airlines approaches 98% when the claim is legitimate. This proves the strength of Regulation CE 261 against unjustified refusals.
