Flight compensation Ryanair:
Birmingham — Palma de Mallorca

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 475 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Birmingham - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

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