Ryanair passengers Podgorica-Charleroi: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Ryanair from Podgorica to Charleroi and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Podgorica and Charleroi (1 444 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ryanair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Podgorica Airport (TGD)
  • Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Flight distance: 1 444 km (~1h48)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

CE 261/2004 is one of the most robust passenger protection laws globally. Every eligible passenger should taking advantage of it.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Podgorica - Charleroi is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Charleroi|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

A strike by ATC services at Podgorica Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

Avoid buying your meals without requesting vouchers from Ryanair. If you do pay, keep your receipts carefully.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Ryanair. It is a binding duty enforceable in court.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is quite common for Ryanair's systems to refuse by default your initial claim under a generic pretext that is unfounded.

As a final step, it is a legal summons that typically triggers payment. Ryanair will nearly invariably prefer to settle the 250€ rather than incur additional legal costs for a case it knows it will lose in court.
