Flight compensation Meridiana:
Bergamo — Mostar

CE 261 payout: Meridiana flight Bergamo → Mostar

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Meridiana didn't honour its scheduled times for your Bergamo - Mostar flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 698 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Meridiana to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

The compensation for BGY→OMO is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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