What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bergamo, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
