Malta — Eindhoven

How to claim your money from Ryanair on Malta (MLA) → Eindhoven (EIN)

Flight cancelled on your Ryanair flight Malta ✈ Eindhoven? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.

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.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Eindhoven.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malta airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

Ryanair's use of complex legal jargon is often a tactic to push travellers to abandon their 400€. On medium-haul, airlines often refuse initially to filter claims.
