Flight compensation Turkish Airlines:
Venice — Istanbul

Procedure: Turkish Airlines flight compensation from Venice to Istanbul

From Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport, your departure with Turkish Airlines to Istanbul didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 403 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Turkish Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Venice airport.
