Refund and compensation Meridiana: route Vienna to Rome
Your claim for compensation for the Meridiana flight from Vienna to Rome deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
By taking off from Vienna International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 780 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
- Arrival airport: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
- Flight distance: 780 km (~0h59)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Did you know? Even if Meridiana is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Vienna International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Meridiana Vienna - Rome is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Meridiana offers you a voucher for your Vienna - Rome flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.
Also note that the distance of 780 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 Rome.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vienna airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Meridiana (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Vienna, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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 €.
A strike by weather services at Vienna International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Meridiana has no control.
What are your rights at Vienna airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Vienna International 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 Vienna shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VIE-FCO trip.
