Steps: claim for Ryanair flight from Rygge to Edinburgh

Your Ryanair flight from Rygge to Edinburgh was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

The good news is, for this journey of 922 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Ryanair to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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: Moss Airport, Rygge (RYG)
  • Arrival airport: Edinburgh Airport (EDI)
  • Flight distance: 922 km (~1h09)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Unlike what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.
