Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

  • Arrival airport: Malaga (AGP)
  • Flight distance: 2 636 km (~3h18)

Contrary to what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Gothenborg - Malaga is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Malaga. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Ryanair must pay you 400€.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a strike impacts your route to Malaga, {the airline|Ryanair} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Ryanair must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Gothenborg.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Gothenburg City Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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