Flight compensation Meridiana:
Milano — Chisinau

Get your Meridiana flight compensation for the route Milano - Chisinau

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Milano - Chisinau 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Chi?in?u International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Meridiana owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Meridiana sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Malpensa International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Chisinau.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Milano 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 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Milano, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Meridiana.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Malpensa International Airport airport, Meridiana is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Meridiana?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Chi?in?u International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Meridiana website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

Airlines like Meridiana sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Meridiana flight from Milano can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Meridiana's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
