Flight compensation Ryanair:
Leeds — Bergamo

How to claim your money from Ryanair on Leeds (LBA) → Bergamo (BGY)

Your Ryanair flight from Leeds to Bergamo was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 220 km, Ryanair is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
