Flight compensation Ryanair:
Krakow — Bologna

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Krakow and Bologna

If your trip departing from Krakow and arriving at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Krakow, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 888 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Krakow - Bologna flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Krakow, 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 Bologna.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Krakow terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Krakow airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
