Flight compensation Meridiana:
Berlin — Rome

Claim and compensation for flight Meridiana Berlin - Rome

If your trip departing from Berlin-Tegel International Airport and arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Meridiana was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Berlin and Rome (1 199 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Meridiana.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Meridiana, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Berlin - Rome is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Berlin and Rome entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 199 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rome.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Berlin 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 Berlin - Rome 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 Berlin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Meridiana.

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

If Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Meridiana, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Berlin shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your TXL-FCO trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Meridiana boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Berlin - Rome line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Meridiana will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
