Flight compensation Ryanair:
Barcelona — Tenerife

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Barcelona and Tenerife

The BCN - TFN route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 195 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between Barcelona and Tenerife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Barcelona, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
• 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

A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Barcelona, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

If Barcelona International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Barcelona remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
