How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Alicante (ALC) - Bremen (BRE) line

From Alicante International Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Bremen didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 792 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Alicante International Airport (ALC)
  • Arrival airport: Bremen Airport (BRE)
  • Flight distance: 1 792 km (~2h14)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Alicante - Bremen is eligible?

The compensation for flight ALC-BRE is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Alicante International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bremen.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Alicante airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Alicante, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bremen Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Alicante airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Alicante International Airport airport, Ryanair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Alicante International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Bremen Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Ryanair.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Ryanair to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Alicante - Bremen section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

An unfounded refusal from Ryanair is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Ryanair without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Alicante.
