Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bergamo — Trapani

Ryanair flight Bergamo - Trapani: your rights to compensation

From Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, your departure with Ryanair to Trapani didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against airlines.

Thanks to EU Regulation CE 261, passengers affected by disruptions on a 893 km route can claim a fixed payout from {the carrier|Ryanair}.

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.

Note that this regulation applies regardless of any cabin class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

Concretely, to qualify, your real landing at Trapani / Birgi Airport must have been recorded more than 3 hours late the scheduled time.

The indemnity also covers overbooking cases. If Ryanair overbooked the flight and you were left behind at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, the 250€ payout is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to ground services, 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?
