Flight compensation Ryanair:
Arrecife — Bergamo

Ryanair passengers Arrecife-Bergamo: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Lanzarote Airport to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport flown by Ryanair was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Ryanair flight Arrecife → Bergamo (2 758 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

Good to know? Even if Ryanair is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Lanzarote Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Bergamo|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

What many don't know: you have 5 years in France to submit your request against Ryanair for the Arrecife-Bergamo flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

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

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Ryanair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Lanzarote Airport, Ryanair is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

Your forced stay at Arrecife should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for ACE→BGY. For a medium-haul, accommodation costs at Arrecife can be significant — Ryanair must cover them.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

To get started: submit a written complaint to Ryanair's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 400€ are successfully recovered.

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

Don't give up faced with Ryanair's silence. It's a deliberate tactic to discourage claimants. Data confirms that over 80% of passengers give up along the way.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400€ to a trusted partner, you spare yourself months of waiting and the stress of seeing your case ignored, as chasing are handled by legal experts.

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

Statistically over 60% of initial refusals from Ryanair are unfounded against an expert taking over. Don't give up at the first obstacle.

If you are certain of your legal right, you can contact the Civil Aviation Authority of the departure country, or more effectively, take the case to a tribunal with a expert partner lawyer.
