Get your SATA Air Acores flight compensation for the route Pico - Ponta Delgada

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If SATA Air Acores did not respect its scheduled times for your Pico - Ponta Delgada flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 256 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires SATA Air Acores 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight SATA Air Acores Pico - Ponta Delgada is eligible?

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

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
