If you were unable to make your connection because Ryanair would not help you, you should familiarize yourself with EU Regulation 261/2004.

This regulation guarantees passengers compensation for delays over three hours in cases when the airline is at fault.

Your ticket information, boarding passes, and any documentation indicating a delay (such as a notice of delay or a timestamp) should be gathered.

Get in touch with Ryanair's customer service by sending an email to [email protected].

Your request should include an explanation of the delay, proof of the delay, and payment for any missed connections or additional costs (such as rebooking, lodging, or meals). Give an exact amount when you claim a sum of money.

Remember that you are not the only one who has experienced Ryanair's denial or lack of response to your claim. Xolvie is a place where you may read about other people's struggles and tell your own story.
