Flight compensation Ryanair:
Rhodos — Stockholm

Recover up to 400€ for Ryanair flight Rhodos → Stockholm

The stress of a cancellation at Diagoras Airport towards Stockholm with Ryanair gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

European legislation upholds passenger rights. For 2 618 km, the statutory payout applies if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. Your flight falls within the medium-haul tier.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Rhodos - Stockholm is eligible?

To check if your journey between Rhodos and Stockholm qualifies for compensation, the determining criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Stockholm Skavsta Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Even if Ryanair offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Stockholm is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this at the expense of Ryanair.
