Flight compensation Ryanair:
Zakynthos — Charleroi

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Zakynthos to Charleroi

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Zakynthos to Charleroi deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 920 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Zakynthos - Charleroi is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Charleroi. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 920 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Charleroi.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Zakynthos 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 Brussels South Charleroi 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 Dionysios Solomos Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

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

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Ryanair is often more striking.
