Flight compensation Ryanair:
Birmingham — Alicante

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Birmingham - Alicante

If your trip departing from Birmingham International Airport and arriving at Alicante International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Birmingham and Alicante (1 579 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Birmingham International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Birmingham - Alicante is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Birmingham - Alicante flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

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 Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Birmingham airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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