Flight compensation Ryanair:
Thessaloniki — Bergamo

Obtain your Ryanair flight compensation for Thessaloniki - Bergamo

Every year, thousands of passengers face disruptions on Thessaloniki → Bergamo with Ryanair. Few realise they can claim a legal payout.

Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 1 218 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

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.

Airlines like Ryanair rely on passengers not knowing to dodge these payouts. Don't make it easy by asserting your rights now.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Thessaloniki - Bergamo is eligible?

Concretely, to qualify, your real landing at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport must have been recorded more than 3 hours late the scheduled time.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

A strike by ATC services at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

Too many passengers don't know that Ryanair must offer them sustenance and contact means throughout the delay at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport. It's a legal obligation, not a bonus.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
