Flight compensation Ryanair:
Paphos — Athens

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Paphos to Athens

If your trip departing from Paphos International Airport and arriving at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 844 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Paphos - Athens is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Paphos, 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 Athens.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paphos 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.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Paphos, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

If Paphos International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Paphos shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PFO-ATH trip.
