Disrupted Ryanair flight Gdansk ✈ Edinburgh: demand your rights

Were you affected by problems on your flight from Gdansk to Edinburgh with Ryanair? Hours of waiting, an unexpected cancellation or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to Directive CE 261, passengers suffering from disruptions on a 1 392 km route can demand a statutory compensation from {the carrier|Ryanair}.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport (GDN)
  • Arrival airport: Edinburgh Airport (EDI)
  • Flight distance: 1 392 km (~1h44)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This fixed compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.
