Flight compensation Ryanair:
Santiago — Malaga

How to get compensated from Ryanair on Santiago (SCQ) - Malaga (AGP)

Your Ryanair flight from Santiago to Malaga was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 768 km, Ryanair is bound by a compensation obligation if boarding is denied.

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.

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.
