Flight compensation Ryanair:
Edinburgh — Kerkyra/corfu

Your entitlement: Ryanair flight from Edinburgh to Kerkyra/corfu

If your flight from Edinburgh Airport to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport flown by Ryanair was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Ryanair flight Edinburgh → Kerkyra/corfu (2 493 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

This is not a goodwill gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Edinburgh - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Kerkyra/corfu|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Edinburgh, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.
