Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bergamo — Bristol

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Bergamo (BGY) - Bristol (BRS) line

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 111 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bristol.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bergamo airport.
