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

Ryanair's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Ryanair is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
