Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Arrival airport: Niederrhein Airport (NRN)
  • Flight distance: 1 195 km (~1h30)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome airport.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Ciampino Airport was disrupted due to an employee strike, you are entitled to {legal compensation|the 250€ payout}.

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Rome. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Your forced stay at Rome should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for CIA→NRN. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Ryanair Rome→Weeze}.

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

Ryanair's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The prospect of legal proceedings is frequently enough to {make Ryanair yield|unlock payment}. Airlines calculate that litigation costs would far exceed the 250€ claimed.
