When planning a trip, nothing can be more frustrating than a flight canceled due to strike. If you have recently had a flight canceled due to a strike, it is important to know that you have rights and can obtain compensation for the inconvenience you have suffered.
What Are Your Rights?
Based on the European Regulation (EC) n. 261/2004, if your flight was canceled and you were informed less than 14 days before the departure date, you are entitled to financial compensation. Compensation amounts vary depending on the distance of the flight and the delay accumulated until the final destination:
250 EUR for flights up to 1,500 km
400 EUR for intra-community flights over 1,500 km and for all other flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
600 EUR for flights over 3,500 km
In addition to financial compensation, you are entitled to a full refund of your ticket or an alternative flight to your final destination.
