Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Manchester to Bologna

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Manchester to Bologna deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Manchester and Bologna (1 389 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Arrival airport: Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport (BLQ)
  • Flight distance: 1 389 km (~1h44)

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