The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 2 032 km route from Barcelona to Fuerteventura.

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.

  • Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Arrival airport: Fuerteventura Airport (FUE)
  • Flight distance: 2 032 km (~2h32)
