If they don't show up, doesn't that mean you win by default? (And then you can indeed send a bailiff to seize a plane...)

Yes, you can win in small claims if the other party doesn't show. I suspect a plane might exceed the "small claims" limit though!

Oh it does but just because you win doesn’t mean they start caring. A bailiff won’t really get involved for 500 euro compensation. A debt collection agency might. They want a cut of your compensation to deal with RyanAir because they know how annoying they are. Like, sure, you can start a 10 month project over 500 euros and maybe it’ll be fruitful eventually. But who does that? It’s insane. Answer your emails for fuck sake
Depending on the jurisdiction, getting a judgement alone doesn't allow you to have a bailiff enforce it.
