Flight compensation Ryanair:
Bournemouth — Tenerife

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Bournemouth to Tenerife

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 815 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Tenerife South Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Bournemouth Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

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 Bournemouth airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

What are your rights at Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Bournemouth Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Tenerife South Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
