Get your Meridiana flight compensation for the route Olbia - Munich

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Meridiana did not respect its scheduled times for your Olbia - Munich 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 848 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB)
  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 848 km (~1h04)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Olbia - Munich is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana OLB-MUC 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 Munich.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Olbia, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Olbia, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Meridiana.

What are your rights at Olbia 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 Olbia / Costa Smeralda 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 Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Meridiana.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

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

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Meridiana.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Olbia to Munich International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Meridiana flight from Olbia 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.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Meridiana will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
