File your refund for Ryanair Bristol → Kaunas
Your payout case for the Ryanair flight from Bristol to Kaunas deserves attention. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.
Leaving Bristol International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 818 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.
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: Bristol International Airport (BRS)
- Arrival airport: Kaunas International Airport (KUN)
- Flight distance: 1 818 km (~2h16)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Bristol - Kaunas is eligible?
Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Air traffic logs will confirm the exact time of door opening at Kaunas International Airport.
Be cautious: Ryanair may attempt to ask you to give up your rights. Don't sign anything without consulting an expert.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kaunas.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bristol airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bristol, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
Be wary by Ryanair's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.
A strike by air traffic control at Bristol International Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Ryanair cannot act.
What are your rights at Bristol airport in case of prolonged wait?
Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Ryanair must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Bristol.
In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Bristol International Airport are fully at the airline's expense.
