Recover up to 250€ for VOLOTEA Airways flight Venice → Nantes

Denied boarding on VOLOTEA Airways Venice → Nantes qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 086 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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: Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
  • Arrival airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Flight distance: 1 086 km (~1h21)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like VOLOTEA Airways.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A group claim on the VOLOTEA Airways flight from Venice can also be a means to {get your funds|recover your 250€} more efficiently.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a dead end or getting a template rejection is sadly the lot of many passengers who claim alone for the Venice - Nantes route.

As a final step, it is a legal summons that typically triggers payment. VOLOTEA Airways will nearly invariably prefer to settle the 250€ rather than incur additional legal costs for a case it knows it will lose in court.
