Flight compensation Ryanair:
Dublin — Bucharest

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Dublin - Bucharest

If your trip departing from Dublin Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Dublin and Bucharest (2 530 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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Dublin Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Dublin and Bucharest 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 2 530 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 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Dublin - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Dublin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Dublin Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Dublin - Bucharest trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Dublin Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
