Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Beauvais to Arrecife

The BVA - ACE 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 2 640 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Beauvais (BVA)
  • Arrival airport: Lanzarote Airport (ACE)
  • Flight distance: 2 640 km (~3h18)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Beauvais - Arrecife is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Arrecife. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Lanzarote Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Beauvais, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Beauvais - Arrecife trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Beauvais or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Beauvais terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Beauvais shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BVA-ACE trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

Starting a procedure against Ryanair for a flight from Beauvais to Arrecife can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight BVA-ACE to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Beauvais to Lanzarote Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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.
