Flight compensation Ryanair:
Arrecife — Bergamo

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Arrecife to Bergamo

If your trip departing from Lanzarote Airport and arriving at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Lanzarote Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 758 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Lanzarote Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Arrecife - Bergamo is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Arrecife and Bergamo entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 2 758 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Arrecife - Bergamo trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Lanzarote Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Lanzarote Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Arrecife - Bergamo trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Lanzarote Airport counter during the incident.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 400 € without stress.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Arrecife to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Arrecife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
