Flight compensation Meridiana:
Bari — Berlin

How to be compensated by Meridiana on the Bari (BRI) - Berlin (TXL) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Bari - Berlin flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 297 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.

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 Meridiana Bari - Berlin is eligible?

For an Meridiana flight from Bari to Berlin, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana BRI-TXL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Bari.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Bari - Berlin trip is due to an internal strike within Meridiana, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Bari / Palese International Airport, Meridiana must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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 Bari / Palese International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
