EU-guaranteed compensation: Ryanair flight Prestwick - Riga

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Prestwick → Riga flight, EU law backs you up.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.
