Legal right: Meridiana flight between Cagliari and Munich

You travelled with Meridiana from Cagliari to Munich and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Cagliari and Munich (1 035 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Meridiana. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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: Cagliari / Elmas Airport (CAG)
  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 1 035 km (~1h18)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a goodwill 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 Cagliari - Munich is eligible?

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Munich|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Meridiana is responsible for|the fault lies with} Meridiana.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Meridiana for the Cagliari→Munich flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Cagliari airport.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Cagliari, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 2 hours for flights ≤1500 km, Meridiana must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Cagliari.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Cagliari remains valid. The hotel is owed if Meridiana pushes your flight by a day.

Obtaining 250€ has never been easier thanks to integration between recovery services and Meridiana's records.

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

The prospect of legal proceedings is frequently enough to {make Meridiana yield|unlock payment}. Airlines calculate that litigation costs would far exceed the 250€ claimed.
