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

You were due to travel with Ryanair from Bergamo to London and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 977 km between Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport and London Stansted Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Ryanair, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at London|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Bergamo, the CE 261 applies equally.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Bergamo, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of Ryanair. This is a separate right.
