Don't miss this opportunity: the Ryanair flight Porto - Carcassonne (930 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Porto - Carcassonne is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a travel credit for your Porto → Carcassonne flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 250€ if the original incident qualifies 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 Carcassonne.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

It is essential to save your Ryanair ticket and every email related to the delay at Porto. These documents are vital for building your case.

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

The template response from Ryanair citing "extraordinary circumstances" for your Porto-Carcassonne flight is a well-known tactic. Traffic data are accessible and can confirm or refute every claim.

The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against Ryanair is often more effective. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
