Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bologna — Palma de Mallorca

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Bologna to Palma de Mallorca

The BLQ - PMI route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 897 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Bologna - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Bologna, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palma de Mallorca.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Palma De Mallorca 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

For your Bologna - Palma de Mallorca 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?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Ryanair to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Ryanair systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Ryanair is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

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