Check compensation

In this article, we briefly outline your passenger rights and detail how to make Volotea complaints. 

What Can You Make a Complaint About

Under the EU and UK flight compensation rules, you can make complaints and claims about many instances, like UK and EU cancelled flight compensation, including situations involving Volotea delayed or cancelled flight compensation. To understand how to get a refund for a cancelled flight or how to enquire about compensation eligibility, you can refer to the airline's policies and relevant regulations.

Besides cancelled or delayed flights, you can also make complaints about services, baggage handling, boarding denials and many other circumstances.

Know Your Passenger Rights

The EC261 flight compensation regulation is the legal framework outlining your air passenger rights in the EU. While EC261 is a large regulation stipulating many factors, the primary rights are as follows:

  • Right to compensation
  • Right to care and assistance
  • Right to reimbursement or re-routing
  • Right to compensation for denied boarding
  • Right to information

When I checked in at the Volotea desk at the airport, the ticket agent told me that I "had a ticket, but not a seat." The flight was oversold and I was placed on the stand-by list; I had to wait until everyone boarded the flight to see if there would be seats available. Another traveler in my group was also put on stand-by; she was the last person able to board. I was unable to get on the flight and was left behind at the airport. I had two options: either spend the night and fly out on the first Volotea flight available in the morning, or purchase a ticket out-of-pocket on a Ryan Air flight leaving at 12:20am. I chose the latter. I had plans first thing that morning with my friends (who boarded the Volotea flight I was supposed to be on) so I needed to get back to Athens ASAP. I returned to my flat around 2AM and ended up getting four hours of sleep. After submitting my claim, Volotea confirmed that I was entitled to compensation of 250 Euro. As of 9-2-24, more than a year after being bumped from this flight, I have not received payment. I have emailed Volotea several times and contacted them through social media. One response was to email Volotea my bank account information, which, for obvious reasons, I refused to do. I even called during their scant business hours. The person on the phone told me that there was no one I could speak to and that the only way I could follow up about my claim is via email. That's when I realized that Volotea may never pay me.

Nonostante avessimo la partenza alle 22.55, siamo partiti da Verona alle 1.40. Sono atterrata a olbia alle 2:40 di notte, invece delle 00.15. Per cui l’imbarco è avvenuto alle 1.10. Nessuno ci ha detto niente del ritardo, solo alla fine del volo ci hanno spiegato cosa è successo. Ci hanno detto che l’equipaggio del volo prima era in ritardo e che di conseguenza pure il nostro lo era.

Hello! I received yesterday about 13:00 o'clock an information that the flight will be delayed by a half hour. My daughter and I were on time at the airport at about 14:05. 2 hours earlier from the departure. We entered the gates control on time and we went straight to the gates that leads to the airplane. There we were sitting and waiting from 14:50 and we were waiting for the announcement to enter the plane. There was no announcement and when I finally understood that the gate to the plane was closing, i run towards the door .I was there at the exact time it was closing and the staff didn't let me through.I was watching from inside the bus to wait for all the passengers to go in it and this took 5 minutes. The stuff didn't let me go out even if the bus was taking passengers there for 5 more minutes.This was rediculous. The stuff was very rude and didn't helped me at all. They talked to me very rude and laughed at me. I listened the woman telling to the man colleague "let her speak and don't care about her. Ignore her!" YOU CAN watchTHIS FROM THE CAMERAS.I was there just as the door was closing and boarding was taking place. Now I have been charged an additional 200 euros for other plane tickets to kreta and I have also lost the money from the previous Flight because of mistakes that other did. I am asking for compensation because the mistake was purely from the company and the staff who were both rude and insolent. Thank you. I would like to notice too that the flight departed on the time that was arranged from the beginning. Not delaytment took part and we had no information for that .

The airline did not offer any compensation for the disrupted flight. They just gave me refund for my flight ticket. But that is not enough. We incurred huge extra expenses due to this issue. We had to book alternative flights and other transport options to reach a place near our final destination. We had to buy meals from our own pockets overnight. The airline did not help in any of this. I would really appreciate if the airline could AT LEAST reimburse me for these extra expenses that I had to pay for. That's the least they can do. Moreover, we missed some train connections too due to this flight cancellation. We did not include those in our claims. We at least want them to reimburse us for what we ask for, it is the bare minimum. Our flight was supposed to take off at 22.50 from Dubrovnik on 20th Jul. It first got delayed to almost 2.14 AM the next day. Then it got cancelled. We were in utter shock. We had to reach Marseille positively the next day. The only option we found from the airport that could reach us nearby was a flight to Rome. We booked that as alternate flight as Volotea didnt have any flights in the next 2 days. From Rome we had to take a train and then a bus to reach till Milan. Then from Milan, our family had to pick us up to take us to Marseille. It was a complete disaster.
