Refund and compensation Vueling Airlines: route Florence to Catania

If your trip departing from Firenze / Peretola Airport and arriving at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport operated by Vueling Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Firenze / Peretola Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 777 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Vueling Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Firenze / Peretola Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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