Flight compensation Ryanair:
Chania — Katowice

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Chania to Katowice

From Chania International Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Katowice didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 711 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Ryanair flight from Chania to Katowice, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Chania International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Katowice.
• 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

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

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?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Chania International Airport airport, Ryanair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Chania International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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