How to know if the flight Ryanair Kaunas - Cagliari is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Ryanair proposes a voucher for your Kaunas - Cagliari flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 400€ guaranteed by the regulation.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Kaunas, 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.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to ground services, Ryanair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Here is what Ryanair owes you during a prolonged wait at Kaunas International Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Ryanair. It is a regulatory requirement that can be sanctioned.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

First concrete step: send a formal email to Ryanair's customer service referencing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.

The key advantage: they absorb 100% of the risk and only charge when the 400€ case is won.

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

Many claimants wait more than half a year for a response from Ryanair. An specialist can cut the delay considerably.

By opting for a platform with no upfront costs, you have nothing to lose. If the 400€ case fails, you pay nothing. It's that simple.

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

The success rate of specialist firms against Ryanair approaches 98% when the claim is legitimate. This proves the strength of Regulation CE 261 against unjustified refusals.
