Refund and reimbursement for Ryanair: Tampere to Malaga

The endless wait at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport towards Malaga with Ryanair doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.
