Full breakdown: Ryanair claim Poznan → Gerona

If your flight from Pozna?-?awica Airport to Girona Airport flown by Ryanair was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

With 1 575 km between Pozna?-?awica Airport and Girona Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

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: Pozna?-?awica Airport (POZ)
  • Arrival airport: Girona Airport (GRO)
  • Flight distance: 1 575 km (~1h58)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
