Flight compensation Ryanair:
Gerona — Rabat

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Gerona and Rabat

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Gerona to Rabat 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 1 206 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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Girona Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

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

Also note that the distance of 1 206 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.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Gerona 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 Gerona remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.
