Flight compensation Ryanair:
Valencia — Bologna

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Valencia and Bologna

If your trip departing from Valencia Airport and arriving at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 121 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Valencia Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Valencia - Bologna is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bologna. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Valencia, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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 250 €.

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

What are your rights at Valencia airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Valencia Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Valencia Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
