Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bologna — Ibiza

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Bologna (BLQ) - Ibiza (IBZ) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Bologna - Ibiza flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 035 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight BLQ-IBZ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair BLQ-IBZ flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Bologna.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Bologna - Ibiza trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Bologna, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Ibiza Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Ryanair.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Bologna - Ibiza line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
