Flight compensation Meridiana:
Stuttgart — Florence

Legal right to compensation: Meridiana flight between Stuttgart and Florence

Your claim for compensation for the Meridiana flight from Stuttgart to Florence deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Stuttgart Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 564 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.

Did you know? Even if Meridiana is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Stuttgart Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Stuttgart - Florence is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 564 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Florence.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stuttgart airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Meridiana (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

A work stoppage of Meridiana crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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

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

If Stuttgart Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Meridiana, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Stuttgart Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
