Claim your compensation for Ryanair Krakow - Beauvais

Your compensation claim for the Ryanair flight from Krakow to Beauvais is likely valid. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

EU law strictly protects passenger rights. For 1 268 km, the legal compensation is owed if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Krakow (KRK)
  • Arrival airport: Beauvais (BVA)
  • Flight distance: 1 268 km (~1h35)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Krakow - Beauvais is eligible?

Check your real landing time at Beauvais. If Ryanair delayed you over 3h at Beauvais, your entitlement is confirmed.

Remember that the distance of 1 268 km perfectly matches the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|Ryanair} cannot deviate from it through its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Beauvais.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Krakow airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Krakow, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Be wary by Ryanair's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

It's worth noting that the obligation to prove rests on Ryanair. It is the carrier's responsibility to demonstrate that the disruption of your Krakow-Beauvais flight results from a truly unforeseeable event.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 250€ question, if the delay extends at Krakow, Ryanair must distribute meal vouchers.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything paid by Ryanair.
