Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bologna — Alicante

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Bologna to Alicante

If your trip departing from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport and arriving at Alicante International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 206 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Bologna - Alicante is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Alicante. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Alicante International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 206 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bologna 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 of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

If Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Bologna remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

For your Bologna - Alicante trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Bologna to Alicante International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Bologna can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
