File your refund for Ryanair Rome → Budapest

Your payout case for the Ryanair flight from Rome to Budapest has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

European legislation upholds passenger rights. For 818 km, the statutory payout applies if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Rome - Budapest is eligible?

To check if your flight between Rome and Budapest is eligible for a payout, the determining criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.
