Why are you entitled to 250 €?

How to know if the flight Ryanair Gerona - Marrakech is eligible?

The departure time is not the relevant criterion. Only the {arrival time at Marrakech|time the doors open at Menara Airport} establishes your {eligibility|right to 250€}.

The 250€ fixed payout is owed individually. If you travelled as a family: every passenger can claim {the same amount|250€}. Even on a short flight, families can recover a significant sum.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marrakech.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gerona airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

A strike by ATC services at Girona Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

Consider the situation: stuck endlessly at Girona Airport, in uncertainty about the new departure. In this scenario, Ryanair cannot leave you without anything. The law forbids it.

Make sure you demand this assistance at {the airline's|Ryanair's} desk. If denied and you must pay for food or hotel at Girona Airport, keep your receipts meticulously for a refund claim.

Patience is often key. Airlines receive a huge volume of claims every week and your Gerona to Menara Airport case can stall if you remain passive.

Technology now allow you to track in real time the progress of your claim against Ryanair on your phone. Short-haul cases are often resolved more quickly.

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

Know that Ryanair doesn't need to justify its refusal immediately. But when you respond with documentation, the obligation to prove shifts {to the airline|onto Ryanair}.
