Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Alicante|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stockholm airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Stockholm, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Be wary by Ryanair's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

A strike by air traffic control at Stockholm Skavsta Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Ryanair cannot act.

Here is what Ryanair owes you during a prolonged wait at Stockholm Skavsta Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.
