Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Kaunas - Trapani
The KUN - TPS route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
By taking off from Kaunas International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 088 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.

- Departure airport: Kaunas International Airport (KUN)
- Arrival airport: Trapani / Birgi Airport (TPS)
- Flight distance: 2 088 km (~2h37)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 - Trapani is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Trapani. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Trapani / Birgi Airport, your claim is legitimate.
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 Trapani.
-
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 question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Kaunas International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Kaunas airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
Your forced stay at Kaunas shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your KUN-TPS trip.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Ryanair to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Kaunas - Trapani section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Ryanair should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
