Ryanair flight Edinburgh - Krakow: your rights to compensation

Did you experience a major disruption on your journey from Edinburgh to Krakow with Ryanair? A lengthy delay, a cancelled flight or denied boarding can throw your trip into chaos.

Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 1 671 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

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.

Airlines like Ryanair count on your ignorance to avoid paying the compensation. Prove them wrong by claiming your rights today.

The crucial point is always: who is on strike? If {the answer is yes|it's Ryanair's employees}, {you're entitled to 400€|compensation is owed}. Otherwise, assistance alone is still required.

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

The template response from Ryanair citing "extraordinary circumstances" for your Edinburgh-Krakow flight is a well-known tactic. Eurocontrol archives are accessible and can confirm or refute every claim.
