Flight compensation Ryanair:
Barcelona — Menorca

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Barcelona (BCN) - Menorca (MAH) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Barcelona - Menorca flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 241 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Barcelona - Menorca is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Menorca, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Barcelona International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Barcelona International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Barcelona International Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Barcelona International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
