Flight compensation Ryanair:
Charleroi — Perpignan

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Charleroi (CRL) - Perpignan (PGF) line

From Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Perpignan didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 867 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Charleroi - Perpignan is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Perpignan airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Brussels South Charleroi Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Charleroi.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Brussels South Charleroi Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

Getting justice against carrier Ryanair requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Ryanair website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Ryanair to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Ryanair systems.

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

The first refusal from Ryanair should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Ryanair is often more striking.
