Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Alicante - Gothenborg
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Alicante - Gothenborg flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 348 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: Gothenburg City Airport (GSE)
- Flight distance: 2 348 km (~2h56)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Alicante - Gothenborg is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Gothenburg City Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.
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 Gothenborg.
-
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
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Alicante - Gothenborg trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Alicante, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.
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 amicable route with Ryanair to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.
A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Alicante can also be a way to get your funds faster.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Alicante - Gothenborg line.
If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
