How to be compensated by VOLOTEA Airways on the Venice (VCE) - Lampedusa (LMP) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 113 km of flight, the company VOLOTEA Airways is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

How to know if the flight VOLOTEA Airways Venice - Lampedusa is eligible?

The compensation for flight VCE-LMP is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the VOLOTEA Airways VCE-LMP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Venice.

What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Lampedusa.

The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by VOLOTEA Airways staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Venice - Lampedusa flight.

What are your rights at Venice airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, VOLOTEA Airways must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
