Is a flight from Guglielmo Marconi covered?

What you can claim

The amount is set by the distance of the flight, not the price of the ticket. From Bologna, that usually means:

What to do at Guglielmo Marconi

  • Ask the airline to confirm the reason for the delay or cancellation in writing.
  • Keep your boarding passes, tickets and every receipt — for meals, taxis and hotels you had to arrange yourself.
  • Insist on the care you are entitled to: meals and drinks in proportion to the wait, two free communications, and accommodation if you are stranded overnight.
  • Do not accept a voucher where you are entitled to a cash refund.

How we enforce it

Flightright assesses the claim, corresponds with the airline and — where it refuses — takes the case to court at our own risk. There is nothing to pay unless the claim succeeds.
