Flight compensation Ryanair:
Brno — London

CE 261 payout: Ryanair flight Brno → London

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Ryanair didn't honour its scheduled times for your Brno - London flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 200 km, Ryanair is held to a payout requirement if boarding is denied.

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.

Contrary to what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Brno - London is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at London Stansted Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Ryanair must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Ryanair segment Brno-London causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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