Flight compensation Ryanair:
Chania — Bergamo

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Chania - Bergamo

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Chania to Bergamo deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 656 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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

How to know if the flight Ryanair Chania - Bergamo is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bergamo. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 656 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Bergamo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Chania 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 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Chania International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Chania International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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