Overbooking at Ryanair flight
Overbooked Ryanair flight: When Ryanair sells more tickets than the possible number of passengers they can accommodate.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Ryanair aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.
When the Ryanair passenger has received a flight ticket or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Ryanair refuses them access to the plane.
How do I calculate the distance between airports to claim a compensation to Ryanair?
In the first place, keep in mind that which is measured is the Ryanair origin and the final destination of the reservation. So, if we have a stop, you shouldn´t count it. The orthodromic distance (the shortest distance between two places by plane) between origin and final destination has to be measured.
In this webpage: https://www.distancesfrom.com/ you can exactly calculate the km from airport to airport.
