How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Paphos (PFO) - Krakow (KRK) line

From Paphos International Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Krakow didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 995 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Paphos International Airport (PFO)
  • Arrival airport: Krakow (KRK)
  • Flight distance: 1 995 km (~2h30)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight PFO-KRK is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Paphos International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Krakow.
  • 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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Paphos - Krakow trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € 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?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Paphos International Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Paphos International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Ryanair.

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
