EU-guaranteed compensation: Ryanair flight Connaught - Bristol

Your Ryanair flight from Connaught to Bristol was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 498 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Ireland West Knock Airport (NOC)
  • Arrival airport: Bristol International Airport (BRS)
  • Flight distance: 498 km (~0h37)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Unlike what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Bristol International Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250€.

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

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