Get your Meridiana flight compensation for the route Chisinau - Milano

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Chisinau - Milano 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 1 555 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Chi?in?u International Airport (KIV)
  • Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Flight distance: 1 555 km (~1h57)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Chisinau - Milano is eligible?

For an Meridiana flight from Chisinau to Milano, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana KIV-MXP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Chisinau.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Meridiana is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Meridiana must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Chisinau.

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 Chi?in?u International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Meridiana?

Getting justice against carrier Meridiana requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Meridiana.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Meridiana. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Meridiana on your smartphone.

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 Chisinau - Milano 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 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
