Flight compensation Ryanair:
London — Bergamo

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair London - Bergamo

If your trip departing from London Stansted Airport and arriving at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from London Stansted Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 977 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 London - Bergamo is eligible?

To determine if your trip between London and Bergamo entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from London, 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 Bergamo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

If London Stansted Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at London shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your STN-BGY trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Ryanair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at London Stansted Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Ryanair customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

An unfounded refusal from Ryanair is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from London Stansted Airport airport to prove their faults.
