Flight compensation Meridiana:
Olbia — Berlin

How to be compensated by Meridiana on the Olbia (OLB) - Berlin (TXL) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Olbia - Berlin 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 1 328 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Olbia - Berlin is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana OLB-TXL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Olbia.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Olbia 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 Olbia - Berlin 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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Olbia 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 Olbia.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

The amicable route with Meridiana to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Meridiana website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € 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 Olbia - Berlin line.

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.
