Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Genoa to Cagliari

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Genoa to Cagliari 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 574 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)
  • Arrival airport: Cagliari / Elmas Airport (CAG)
  • Flight distance: 574 km (~0h43)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a commercial 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 Genoa - Cagliari is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Genoa - Cagliari flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 574 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cagliari.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Genoa, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
