How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Biarritz-bayonne (BIQ) - Stockholm (NYO) line

From Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Stockholm didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 120 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport (BIQ)
  • Arrival airport: Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO)
  • Flight distance: 2 120 km (~2h39)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Biarritz-bayonne - Stockholm is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Biarritz-bayonne to Stockholm, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Stockholm Skavsta Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Biarritz-bayonne airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Biarritz-bayonne.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Ryanair customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Ryanair should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Ryanair is often more striking.
