Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Madrid — Bologna

Get your Iberia Airlines flight compensation for the route Madrid - Bologna

From Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, your departure with Iberia Airlines to Bologna didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 296 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.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Madrid - Bologna is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Iberia Airlines owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International 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 Bologna.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Madrid 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

Don't be fooled by Iberia Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Madrid, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Iberia Airlines.

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