Flight compensation Ryanair:
Rome — Krakow

Claim up to 250€ for Ryanair flight Rome - Krakow

The endless wait at Ciampino Airport towards Krakow with Ryanair doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 1 074 km route from Rome to Krakow.

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 - Krakow is eligible?

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

Even if Ryanair reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Krakow exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A strike action by Ryanair's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by airport staff, Ryanair is released from paying the 250€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

What are your rights at Rome airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Ciampino Airport turns into your involuntary base because of Ryanair, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Ciampino Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.
