Flight compensation United Airlines:
Torino — Brussels

Legal right to compensation: United Airlines flight between Torino and Brussels

If your trip departing from Torino / Caselle International Airport and arriving at Brussels Airport operated by United Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 676 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 United Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Torino / Caselle International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Airlines Torino - Brussels is eligible?

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
