Flight compensation Ryanair:
Gerona — Manchester

Recover up to 250€ for Ryanair flight Gerona → Manchester

The stress of a cancellation at Girona Airport towards Manchester with Ryanair gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Girona Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 327 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
