How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Charleroi (CRL) - Reus (REU) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Charleroi and Reus with Ryanair? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 066 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Arrival airport: Reus Air Base (REU)
  • Flight distance: 1 066 km (~1h20)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight CRL-REU is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair CRL-REU flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Charleroi.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Charleroi, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 €.

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

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.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Brussels South Charleroi Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

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?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Charleroi can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
