The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a strike impacts your route to Warsaw, {the airline|Ryanair} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

Question Ryanair's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 250€}.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Ryanair is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Moss Airport, Rygge. It's a right, not a favour.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The battle to recover 250€ from Ryanair starts with sending a formal complaint. {Without a response within 6 weeks|If Ryanair doesn't reply}, court action is the next step.

Refuse to allow Ryanair to retain the {money|250€} that is legally owed to you. The longer you wait without action is a win for {the airline|Ryanair} and time lost for you.
