Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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