Refund and reimbursement for Ryanair: Aarhus to London

Your compensation claim for the Ryanair flight from Aarhus to London deserves attention. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

EU law strictly protects passenger rights. For 835 km, the legal compensation is owed if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Aarhus Airport (AAR)
  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 835 km (~1h03)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Aarhus - London is eligible?

To determine if your flight between Aarhus and London is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at London Stansted Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Aarhus airport.
