Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Connaught to Kaunas
The NOC - KUN route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
Given the route between Connaught and Kaunas (2 111 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.
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: Ireland West Knock Airport (NOC)
- Arrival airport: Kaunas International Airport (KUN)
- Flight distance: 2 111 km (~2h38)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Connaught - Kaunas is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Connaught and Kaunas entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
Also note that the distance of 2 111 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 Kaunas.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Connaught airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Connaught, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Connaught airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Ireland West Knock Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Connaught remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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