Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Rygge - Kaunas

If your trip departing from Moss Airport, Rygge and arriving at Kaunas International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Rygge and Kaunas (938 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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: Kaunas International Airport (KUN)
  • Flight distance: 938 km (~1h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Rygge - Kaunas is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Rygge and Kaunas entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Rygge, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kaunas.
  • 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

A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Rygge shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your RYG-KUN trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

Starting a procedure against Ryanair for a flight from Rygge to Kaunas can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight RYG-KUN to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
