CE 261 payout: Ryanair flight Cagliari → Gerona

Major delay on your Ryanair flight Cagliari ✈ Gerona? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 608 km, Ryanair is held to a payout requirement if the flight is cancelled.

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.

  • Departure airport: Cagliari / Elmas Airport (CAG)
  • Arrival airport: Girona Airport (GRO)
  • Flight distance: 608 km (~0h46)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.
