Flight compensation Meridiana:
Florence — Vienna

How to be compensated by Meridiana on the Florence (FLR) - Vienna (VIE) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Florence and Vienna with Meridiana? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 633 km of flight, the company Meridiana is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Florence - Vienna is eligible?

The compensation for flight FLR-VIE is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana FLR-VIE flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Florence.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

Don't be fooled by Meridiana's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

What are your rights at Florence 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 Florence.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Firenze / Peretola Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Meridiana.
