Flight compensation Ryanair:
Krakow — Dortmund

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Krakow (KRK) - Dortmund (DTM) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Krakow and Dortmund with Ryanair? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 869 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 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.

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 Krakow - Dortmund is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair KRK-DTM flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Krakow.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dortmund.
• 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

If your Ryanair flight from Krakow was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Krakow airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Krakow.

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 Krakow, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
