Flight compensation Ryanair:
Athens — Bergamo

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Athens - Bergamo

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Athens to Bergamo deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 457 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Bergamo. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 457 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Athens airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Eleftherios Venizelos International 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.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Athens remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Ryanair is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.
