Flight compensation Ryanair:
Kaunas — Hahn

Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Kaunas - Hahn

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Kaunas - Hahn flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 265 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair KUN-HHN flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Kaunas.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Hahn.
• 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 - Hahn trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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 Kaunas airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Kaunas International Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Kaunas International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € 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.
