Flight compensation Ryanair:
Kerkyra/corfu — London

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Kerkyra/corfu (CFU) - London (STN) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 037 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Kerkyra/corfu - London is eligible?

The compensation for flight CFU-STN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

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 Kerkyra/corfu airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to London Stansted Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Ioannis Kapodistrias 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 Kerkyra/corfu 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 Ioannis Kapodistrias 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 Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
