Flight compensation Ryanair:
Pisa — Valencia

CE 261 payout: Ryanair flight Pisa → Valencia

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Ryanair didn't honour its scheduled times for your Pisa - Valencia flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 016 km, Ryanair is held to a payout requirement if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Ryanair from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Pisa - Valencia is eligible?

Whether your Ryanair flight Pisa-Valencia was delayed or boarding was denied, the 250€ compensation may apply for each case.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 250€ payout.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Pisa - Valencia delay was caused by an staff strike at Ryanair, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to airport staff, Ryanair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 250€ question, if the delay drags on at Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport, Ryanair is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
