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.
