How to be compensated by Meridiana on the Milan (LIN) - Olbia (OLB) line

From Linate Airport airport, your departure with Meridiana to Olbia didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 506 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.

  • Arrival airport: Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB)
  • Flight distance: 506 km (~0h38)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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.
