Flight compensation Meridiana:
Olbia — Vienna

Refund and compensation Meridiana: route Olbia to Vienna

If your trip departing from Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport and arriving at Vienna International Airport operated by Meridiana was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 977 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Meridiana.

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

To determine if your trip between Olbia and Vienna entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Vienna.
• 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

If your Meridiana flight from Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Olbia - Vienna flight.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Olbia shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your OLB-VIE trip.

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