Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Brindisi - Charleroi
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Brindisi - Charleroi flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 509 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
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: Brindisi / Casale Airport (BDS)
- Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
- Flight distance: 1 509 km (~1h53)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Brindisi - Charleroi is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Brindisi / Casale Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Charleroi.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brindisi airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brindisi, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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 400 €.
A strike by weather services at Brindisi / Casale Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.
What are your rights at Brindisi 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 Brindisi.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Brindisi / Casale Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
Don't fill out complex forms on the Ryanair website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 400 € 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?
Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
