The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
Be vigilant: Ryanair might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 400€}.
However, if ground handlers at Santiago de Compostela Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 400€ are not owed.
What are your rights at Santiago airport in case of prolonged wait?
Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Ryanair must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Santiago. The threshold rises to 3 hours for flights of 1500 to 3500 km.
If you advanced money for meals at Santiago de Compostela Airport due to Ryanair's disruption, compile all invoices. You can request reimbursement of these costs independently of the 400€ compensation.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
The solo claim with Ryanair to obtain 400€ rarely succeeds without a well-documented case. Medium-haul flights generate a high volume of claims, slowing processing.
To boost your odds of winning, engage a specialist firm. These professionals know the case law and won't be intimidated against Ryanair's lawyers.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
A frequent concern is about how long it takes. A claim sent yourself to Ryanair's claims team can take several weeks, even months before you get a response.
Obtaining 400€ has never been easier thanks to digital tools between recovery services and Ryanair's systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
An unfounded refusal from Ryanair is a practice that experts know perfectly how to counter by invoking the relevant provisions of Regulation 261.
The threat of court action often suffices to {make Ryanair yield|unlock payment}. Airlines know that court fees would greatly surpass the 400€ owed.
