Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bergamo — Santiago

Claim up to 250€ for Ryanair flight Bergamo - Santiago

Denied boarding on Ryanair Bergamo - Santiago entitles you to up to 250€. Find out if you're eligible.

EU law strictly protects passenger rights. For 1 472 km, the legal compensation is owed if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

Note your real landing time at Santiago. If Ryanair delayed you over 3h at Santiago de Compostela Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.

Even if Ryanair reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Santiago exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Bergamo - Santiago delay was caused by an staff strike at Ryanair, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Ryanair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Bergamo airport in case of prolonged wait?

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 2 hours for flights ≤1500 km, Ryanair must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Bergamo.

Your forced stay at Bergamo should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for BGY→SCQ. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.
