Flight compensation Ryanair:
Chalons — Porto

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Chalons to Porto

If your trip departing from Chalons and arriving at Porto operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Chalons, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 311 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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Chalons, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Chalons - Porto is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Porto. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Porto, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Chalons, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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 250 €.

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 Chalons airport in case of prolonged wait?

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