Flight compensation Ryanair:
Trapani — Pisa

Legal payout: Ryanair flight Trapani → Pisa

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Ryanair didn't honour its scheduled times for your Trapani - Pisa flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 666 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Ryanair to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Ryanair from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Trapani - Pisa is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Ryanair must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Ryanair segment Trapani-Pisa causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Pisa.
• 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...).

However, if ground handlers at Trapani / Birgi Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 250€ are not owed.
