Flight compensation Ryanair:
Arrecife — London

Full breakdown: Ryanair claim Arrecife → London

You were due to travel with Ryanair from Arrecife to London and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 2 796 km between Lanzarote Airport and London Stansted Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Ryanair, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at London|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Arrecife airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
