Flight compensation Ryanair:
Budapest — Pisa

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Budapest and Pisa

If your trip departing from Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport and arriving at Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 806 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Budapest - Pisa is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Budapest and Pisa entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 806 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
