Flight compensation Ryanair:
Stockholm — Krakow

Steps: compensation for Ryanair flight from Stockholm to Krakow

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Stockholm → Krakow flight, EU law backs you up.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 986 km, Ryanair is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

Whether your Ryanair flight Stockholm→Krakow was cancelled or you were bumped, the 250€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
