Air Dolomiti connects Italy with Germany and more, but if you face a delay or cancelation, you could be entitled to compensation under EC 261. As long as the issues are under their control, you may be eligible for up to €600. Here’s everything you need to know to file a claim.
What are Your Passengers Rights with Air Dolomiti?
EU 261 protects your rights, regardless of the airline that you’re traveling on, as long as you’re in the European Union or meet other qualifying circumstances. Depending on the circumstances of your delay or cancellation, you have the right to a refund, rerouting, and care, including meals, accommodation, and more.
Flight Delay Compensation
When your flight is delayed more than two hours, you are entitled to basic care, including meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation and transportation (where applicable), and access to communication. If your delay is three hours or more, you can also request reimbursement and transportation to your point of origin.
You are also entitled to compensation, which can be paid as a non-fundable transportation voucher or refundable voucher.
- Flights up to 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400
- Flights over 3,500 km: €600
Flight Cancellation Compensation
You may be entitled to additional compensation if you were notified of the cancellation less than two weeks before the departure and your new arrival and departure times are significantly different than your original times.
You’ll need to contact customer service to receive your compensation, which can be issued as non-refundable or refundable vouchers.
- Flights up to 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400
- Flights over 3,500 km: €600
The amount may vary based on the type of compensation you request, and you might get a better value when you choose their transportation credit.

Air Dolomiti Refund Policy
Cancellations and delays happen when travelling with Air Dolomiti, but you can request a refund and ask for compensation under EC 261 when they do. You can get both. You do not need to choose between the two.
As long as you qualify, you could receive up to €600 in compensation under EC 261 from Air Dolomiti. How much you get will depend on what happened and your personal flight details, but you need to file a claim directly with the airline to get started. You are eligible for both, even if you get a full refund of your fare.
