Flight compensation Ryanair:
Genoa — Bari

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Genoa - Bari

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Genoa to Bari deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 742 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Genoa - Bari is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Genoa and Bari entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bari.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Genoa 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 Genoa - Bari trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Genoa, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Genoa remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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.
