Take these steps if you hear about an Air Dolomiti strike

If you hear about a pending Air Dolomiti strike, or any other strike affecting airports, air traffic control, or other airline industry sectors, you should:

Stay on top of new developments by downloading the Air Dolomiti app or signing up for email or SMS notices.
Next, find out what kind of strike is taking place. This will make a big difference later on if you have flight disruptions and want to seek recompense from the carrier.
Check your booking. Read the terms and conditions of your ticket, and see if you are allowed to make changes to your flight because of the strike.
If you have a refundable ticket you should be able to make changes, but if you have a non-refundable ticket, you might have to contact an Air Dolomiti agent to ask if they will let you make changes or cancel.

If none of these options work, then let Air Dolomiti cancel your flight so you can choose between a refund or a rebooking with no associated fees.

If your flight is delayed or cancelled because of a strike

If you’re already enroute when Air Dolomiti delays or cancels your flight, then the airline is required by law to assist you in the following ways:

For delays extending 2 hours or more, you must be provided with food and refreshment as well as 2 free calls, texts, or emails.
For cancelled flights or delays lasting 5 hours or more, you’re entitled to a choice between a refund or a rebooking on the next flight available. This must be provided at no extra charge.
For delays that last until the following day, Air Dolomiti must provide a one-night hotel stay and transport.
For delays making you 3 or more hours late at your final destination, Air Europa may have to pay you between 250-600 EUR in compensation as long as there was nothing they could do to avoid the strike.
If your flight disruption was caused by a third party strike like air traffic control or ground staff at the airport, then you won’t be able to collect repayment from the airline, but you will still get a refund or a rebooking as well as care and assistance.

Take these steps if your Air Dolomiti flight is affected

Hopefully, you can avoid any flight disruptions, but it you do have issues that are caused by a strike, remember to take the following steps:

If you’re still in the preparation stage, pack extra snacks and any essentials in your hand baggage in case you have long delays at the airport.
Document everything, including conversations you have with the airline, photos and screenshots of delay and cancellation notices, and anything else pertaining to your experience.
Save trip-related materials, specifically boarding passes, receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses like meals, hotel, taxi, etc.
Note your actual arrival time. Official arrival is when the door of the aircraft opens at the gate. This is important because you’ll need to show you were at least 3 hours late to qualify for potential compensation.
