When is compensation due?

When the flight reaches its destination at least 3 hours late, is cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking. On this route the amount is €250 per passenger.

What counts as extraordinary circumstances?

Events outside the airline's control: prohibitive weather, air traffic control strikes, medical or security emergencies. An ordinary technical fault or a strike by the airline's own staff usually does not qualify.

How long do I have to claim?

In Italy the limitation period is 2 years from the flight date. In other European countries it can run to 5 or 6 years, depending on the law applicable to the carrier.

Does it apply if my ticket was cheap?

Yes. Compensation under Reg. EC 261/2004 depends only on route distance and the disruption suffered, never on the ticket price. On this route it is €250 regardless of the fare.
