How do I know how long was Volotea flight delayed?
- Have a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long the Volotea flight has been delayed without any doubt. Take in to account that the following webpages are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Volotea status of all flights including those of years ago.

Advice: When the Volotea delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law imposes has to be taken in consideration.
