Flight compensation Turkish Airlines:
Torino — Istanbul

Your entitlement: Turkish Airlines flight from Torino to Istanbul

If your flight from Torino / Caselle International Airport to Istanbul flown by Turkish Airlines was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Turkish Airlines flight Torino → Istanbul (1 759 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Good to know? Even if Turkish Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Torino / Caselle International Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Turkish Airlines Torino - Istanbul is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Istanbul|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Turkish Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Turkish Airlines.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Torino airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Turkish Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
