Flight compensation Ryanair:
Stockholm — Bremen

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Stockholm to Bremen

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Stockholm - Bremen flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 814 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Stockholm - Bremen is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Stockholm to Bremen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Stockholm Skavsta Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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 €.

A strike by weather services at Stockholm Skavsta Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Stockholm Skavsta Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Stockholm Skavsta Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
