When industrial action disrupts your journey to Ciampino Airport, {the airline|Ryanair} will often try to refuse the claim. However, a strike by its employees no longer constitutes, according to case law, an exempting circumstance.

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

Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Ryanair must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Warsaw. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't let Ryanair to keep the {money|250€} that is rightfully yours. Every day that passes doing nothing is time gained for {the airline|Ryanair} and a missed opportunity for your finances.
