Flight compensation Ryanair:
Gerona — Newcastle

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Gerona and Newcastle

If your trip departing from Girona Airport and arriving at Newcastle Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Girona Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 496 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.
