Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Thessaloniki - Bergamo

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 218 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG)
  • Arrival airport: Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport (BGY)
  • Flight distance: 1 218 km (~1h31)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair SKG-BGY flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Thessaloniki.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bergamo.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Thessaloniki airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Thessaloniki, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

What are your rights at Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Ryanair.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Thessaloniki to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
