Flight compensation Ryanair:
La Rochelle — Charleroi

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from La Rochelle to Charleroi

From La Rochelle airport, your departure with Ryanair to Charleroi didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 633 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 La Rochelle - Charleroi is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at La Rochelle, the 250 € compensation is automatic.
