Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Rygge - Chania
From Moss Airport, Rygge airport, your departure with Ryanair to Chania didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 823 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Moss Airport, Rygge (RYG)
- Arrival airport: Chania International Airport (CHQ)
- Flight distance: 2 823 km (~3h32)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Rygge - Chania is eligible?
The compensation for flight RYG-CHQ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair RYG-CHQ flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rygge.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Chania.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rygge airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Rygge, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Rygge - Chania trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
What are your rights at Rygge airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rygge.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Moss Airport, Rygge terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Chania International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Ryanair.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Rygge to Chania International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.
Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Rygge - Chania line.
In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
