Flight compensation Meridiana:
Milano — Tel-aviv

Procedure: Meridiana flight compensation from Milano to Tel-aviv

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Milano - Tel-aviv 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 2 706 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 - Tel-aviv is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Malpensa International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tel-aviv.
• 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

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

A strike by weather services at Malpensa International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Meridiana has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malpensa International Airport, Meridiana must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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?

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

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.

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
