How to be compensated by VOLOTEA Airways on the Nantes (NTE) - Venice (VCE) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Nantes and Venice with VOLOTEA Airways? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 086 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires VOLOTEA Airways 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
