Flight compensation Ryanair:
Madrid — Cagliari

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Madrid to Cagliari

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 084 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
