AeroItalia Flight Compensation Claims

As a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:

  • Flight delay: If your flight arrived 3+ hours late at your final destination.
  • AeroItalia Cancel Flight: if AeroItalia cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooked flights: If you have been denied boarding due to overbooking.
  • Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs and you arrived at your destination 3+ hours late.

AeroItalia Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?

When AeroItalia can escape liability: AeroItalia claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a AeroItalia missed flight refund.

All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.

warning

Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a AeroItalia flight compensation.

An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.

When AeroItalia cannot escape liability: When AeroItalia cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.

Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive AeroItalia flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

AeroItalia Flight Refund policy

A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.

In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.

If AeroItalia cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.

Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.

Note: If AeroItalia offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund. 

tip

Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

AeroItalia Flight Delay Compensation

While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU regulation 261 (EU 261) protects passengers in cases of flight delays.

According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a AeroItalia delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.

Exclusions: AeroItalia delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.

warning

Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

Common questions: Compensation Claims and Refunds

What to do when your AeroItalia flight is cancelled?

Confirm the reason for a flight cancellation with the airline ticket desk. Also, collect receipts for any additional expenses for reimbursement later. Ask the airline to provide food and refreshments for a delay of 3 hours or more. If your replacement flight is departing the next day, the airline must provide hotel accommodation and transportation. Finally, use our free online compensation calculator to check if you are eligible for compensation and submit a AeroItalia refund for cancellation.

What if I cancel my AeroItalia flight? Can I get a refund?

If AeroItalia cancels the flight, they must refund the price of ticket to passengers. But if you decide to voluntarily cancel your scheduled flight, you are not entitled to a refund. AeroItalia cancellation policy is restrictive, unless you have a flexible fare, which allows you to reschedule your flight to a later date with minimal cost.

Note: regardless of ticket type, passengers have the right to request a refund amount for airport taxes and fees as part of a cancellation refund.

Do I also get my money back for the AeroItalia cancelled a flight due to Covid-19?

If AeroItalia cancelled a flight due to Covid-19, passengers are entitled to a reimbursement as part of flight cancellation rights. If AeroItalia attempts to reimburse your cancelled flight with a voucher, we do not recommend taking it. Instead, apply for a refund. If your refund claim is rejected, AirAdvisor can help enforce your claim through our external lawyers.

Can I Get a AeroItalia Refund?

If you were to cancel your flight independently, yet booked an inflexible, non-refundable fare, then you may not be able to receive a reimbursement. However, if AeroItalia cancelled your journey for causes beyond your control - such as bad weather or another issue regarding their operations – EU law provides you with right to receive a refund of the ticket value unused.

How many hours for flight delay to be eligible for AeroItalia compensation?

If your flight is delayed by 3 hours or more at the final destination airport, you may be able to claim compensation. The calculation of delay and compensation can be complex and may depend on factors such as the length of delay and flight distance. AirAdvisor website will allow you to check if your AeroItalia flight is eligible for compensation.

How long does it take to get AeroItalia flight delay compensation?

According to EU Regulation EC 261 compensation must be paid within a month of the delayed flight. However, it is not uncommon for airlines such as AeroItalia to take much longer to process, sometimes taking 2-3 months. It is possible that AeroItalia may attempt to prolong or overlook requests for compensation expecting that many travellers will not do anything to enforce passenger rights. Our team at AirAdvisor knows how to make airline pay compensation and we will save a lot of your time and headache doing it for you.

I wanted to cancel the flight on the same day of purchase and the airline does not want to refund me and does not want to be responsible.

I’ve raised a ticket on their portal but haven’t received any response. We initially contacted them on August 19th, and since then, we haven’t heard back from the airline. This version is concise and clear. Let me know if it works for you!
