Flight compensation Meridiana:
Olbia — Bologna

Get your Meridiana flight compensation for the route Olbia - Bologna

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Olbia - Bologna flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 429 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Meridiana to pay you financial compensation.

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 - Bologna is eligible?

For an Meridiana flight from Olbia to Bologna, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bologna.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Olbia airport.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Bologna / Borgo Panigale 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 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

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

The first refusal from Meridiana should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport airport to prove their faults.
