Legal right: Ryanair flight between London and Gdansk

If your journey from London Stansted Airport to Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between London and Gdansk (1 244 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ryanair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Arrival airport: Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport (GDN)
  • Flight distance: 1 244 km (~1h33)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.

How to know if the flight Ryanair London - Gdansk is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a travel credit for your London → Gdansk flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were 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 Gdansk.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from London, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

If your Ryanair flight from London Stansted Airport was cancelled due to an internal staff strike, you are eligible for {legal compensation|the 250€ payout}.

The crucial point is always: who is on strike? If {the answer is yes|it's Ryanair's employees}, {you're entitled to 250€|compensation is owed}. Otherwise, assistance alone is still required.

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

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at London still applies. The hotel must be provided if Ryanair delays your flight overnight.
