Flight compensation Ryanair:

Claim your compensation for Ryanair Dublin - Bucharest

A cancellation on Ryanair Dublin - Bucharest entitles you to up to 400€. Find out if you're eligible.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 2 530 km route from Dublin to Bucharest.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Dublin - Bucharest is eligible?

To check if your journey between Dublin and Bucharest qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Henri Coand? International Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 2 530 km fully justifies the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|Ryanair} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

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