How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Ryanair customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.
The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.
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 €.
For your 250 €, don't compromise with Ryanair without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Athens.
