Get your Iberia Airlines flight compensation for the route Florence - London

From Firenze / Peretola Airport airport, your departure with Iberia Airlines to London didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 180 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Firenze / Peretola Airport (FLR)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 1 180 km (~1h29)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

For an Iberia Airlines flight from Florence to London, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Firenze / Peretola Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
  • 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to London Gatwick Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Firenze / Peretola Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Firenze / Peretola Airport airport, Iberia Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Firenze / Peretola Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

The amicable route with Iberia Airlines to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

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

On the FLR-LGW line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Iberia Airlines's legal department.

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