Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bergamo — Palermo

EU-guaranteed compensation: Ryanair flight Bergamo - Palermo

Your Ryanair flight from Bergamo to Palermo was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 879 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Ryanair must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Ryanair segment Bergamo-Palermo causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palermo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bergamo airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Be wary by Ryanair's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by air traffic control at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Ryanair cannot act.

Lots of travellers are unaware that transfers between the accommodation and the terminal at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport is also included in the legal package owed by Ryanair.
