Claim up to 250€ for Ryanair flight Riga - Hahn

Your compensation claim for the Ryanair flight from Riga to Hahn deserves attention. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 1 346 km route from Riga to Hahn.

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: Riga International Airport (RIX)
  • Arrival airport: Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN)
  • Flight distance: 1 346 km (~1h41)

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Riga airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Don't give up faced with Ryanair's silence. It's a deliberate tactic to discourage claimants. Data confirms that over 80% of passengers give up along the way.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 250€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

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

Don't take at face value Ryanair's email claiming that Riga's airport was blocked by snow without consulting certified METAR data.
