Flight compensation Ryanair:
Kaunas — Connaught

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Kaunas to Connaught

If your trip departing from Kaunas International Airport and arriving at Ireland West Knock Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 111 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Kaunas - Connaught flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Kaunas - Connaught trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Kaunas International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Kaunas International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Kaunas International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Kaunas - Connaught trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Kaunas International Airport counter during the incident.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 400 € without stress.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
