Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Trapani to Kaunas
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Trapani - Kaunas flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 088 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 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Trapani / Birgi Airport (TPS)
- Arrival airport: Kaunas International Airport (KUN)
- Flight distance: 2 088 km (~2h37)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Trapani - Kaunas is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Kaunas International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Trapani / Birgi Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kaunas.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Trapani airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Trapani, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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 400 €.
A strike by weather services at Trapani / Birgi Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.
What are your rights at Trapani airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Trapani / Birgi Airport airport, Ryanair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Trapani / Birgi Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Don't fill out complex forms on the Ryanair website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.
By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Trapani - Kaunas line.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
