Compensation & claim for Ryanair: Warsaw to Liverpool

The stress of a cancellation at Warsaw towards Liverpool with Ryanair gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Warsaw, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 573 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?
