Check the Airline Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004 to see if Ryanair denied you boarding even though you had valid papers.

This law says that passengers can get money if the airline denied them boarding. Gather all the necessary proofs to back up your claim, such as your flight pass, ID, and confirmation of your reservation.

Ryanair's customer service can be reached by emailing [email protected] or contacting number for your location on their official website under the Help Centre for faster updates.

Clearly tell what happened, include proof, and ask for compensation. Make sure to ask the airport staff why the claim was denied and for any written proof about what happened.

If Ryanair doesn't answer or denies your claim, we encourage you to offer your opinions or submit your complaints free of charge on Xolvie.
