Flight compensation Ryanair:
Kaunas — Rhodos

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Kaunas to Rhodos

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

By taking off from Kaunas International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 086 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Kaunas, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Kaunas, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

If Kaunas International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Kaunas remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

Starting a procedure against Ryanair for a flight from Kaunas to Rhodos can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Kaunas to Diagoras Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Kaunas can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Kaunas - Rhodos line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
