Flight compensation Ryanair:
Vilnius — Bergamo

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Vilnius - Bergamo

If your trip departing from Vilnius International Airport and arriving at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Vilnius International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 486 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Vilnius International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Bergamo. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Vilnius airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Vilnius International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Your forced stay at Vilnius shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VNO-BGY trip.
