Flybe flight Rennes → Exeter: guide on a refund

Regularly, many passengers suffer delays on Rennes - Exeter with Flybe. Most don't know they can claim financial compensation.

Your payout amount is independent of the fare. The distance alone of 320 km determines the payout under CE 261/2004.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Remember that this law applies whether you're in economy or business, and irrespective of the passenger's citizenship.

How to know if the flight Flybe Rennes - Exeter is eligible?

In practice, to be eligible, your actual arrival at Exeter International Airport must have occurred at least 180 minutes behind the original timetable.

Compensation also covers denied boarding. If Flybe oversold the flight and you couldn't board at Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport, the 250€ payout is automatic.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rennes airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Flybe (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
