Flight compensation Ryanair:
Keffallinia — London

Legal right: Ryanair flight between Keffallinia and London

You travelled with Ryanair from Keffallinia to London and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

With 2 195 km between Kefallinia Airport and London Stansted Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 400€ per passenger.

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.

Good to know? Even if Ryanair is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Kefallinia Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Keffallinia - London is eligible?

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

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Keffallinia 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 by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Ryanair. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Keffallinia→London flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Ryanair must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Keffallinia.

In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Kefallinia Airport are fully at the airline's expense.

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

The paradox: the longer Ryanair delays paying your 400€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.

Imagine: while you go about your life, lawyers work to secure your 400€ for the Ryanair Keffallinia→London flight. That's the benefit of a turnkey service.

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

Data shows that a majority of first rejections from Ryanair don't hold up when challenged by a documented counter-claim. Don't stop at the first hurdle.
