Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bologna — Bari

Claim your compensation for Ryanair Bologna - Bari

A cancellation on Ryanair Bologna - Bari entitles you to up to 250€. Find out if you're eligible.

Departing from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 584 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) 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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

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

To check if your journey between Bologna and Bari qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Bari / Palese International Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Watch out for traps: Ryanair might try to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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