Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Bremen to Gerona

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Bremen and Gerona with Ryanair? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 318 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Bremen Airport (BRE)
  • Arrival airport: Girona Airport (GRO)
  • Flight distance: 1 318 km (~1h39)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Bremen - Gerona is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Bremen Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

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

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

What are your rights at Bremen 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 Bremen.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Bremen Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

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

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

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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.
