How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Comiso (CIY) - Charleroi (CRL) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 701 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 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Comiso Airport ""Vincenzo Magliocco"" (CIY)
  • Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Flight distance: 1 701 km (~2h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Comiso - Charleroi is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Comiso to Charleroi, 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 Comiso Airport ""Vincenzo Magliocco"", 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 Charleroi.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Comiso airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

What are your rights at Comiso 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 Comiso.

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 Comiso Airport ""Vincenzo Magliocco"", keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
