Flight compensation Ryanair:
Malmoe — Malaga

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Malmoe and Malaga

If your trip departing from Malmoe and arriving at Malaga operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Malmoe, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 493 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Malmoe, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Malmoe - Malaga is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Malmoe - Malaga flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Malmoe or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Malmoe terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Malmoe airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Malmoe - Malaga trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Malmoe counter during the incident.

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 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Malmoe to Malaga can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Malmoe can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
