Get your VOLOTEA Airways flight compensation for the route Palermo - Florence
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Palermo and Florence 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 646 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport (PMO)
- Arrival airport: Firenze / Peretola Airport (FLR)
- Flight distance: 646 km (~0h48)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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.
How to know if the flight VOLOTEA Airways Palermo - Florence is eligible?
The compensation for flight PMO-FLR is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If VOLOTEA Airways sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Florence.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palermo airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to VOLOTEA Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Palermo, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Palermo - Florence trip is due to an internal strike within VOLOTEA Airways, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Palermo, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for VOLOTEA Airways.
What are your rights at Palermo airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport, VOLOTEA Airways is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
