How to know if the flight Ryanair Dortmund - London is eligible?
The departure time is not the relevant criterion. Only the {arrival time at London|time the doors open at London Stansted Airport} establishes your {eligibility|right to 250€}.
Compensation also covers denied boarding. If Ryanair oversold the flight and you couldn't board at Dortmund Airport, the 250€ payout is guaranteed.

-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Dortmund, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.
Question Ryanair's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 250€}.
What are your rights at Dortmund airport in case of prolonged wait?
What few know: the assistance obligation remains valid even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Ryanair is excused from compensation, assistance remains mandatory.
If you advanced money for a hotel at Dortmund Airport due to Ryanair's disruption, compile all invoices. You can request reimbursement of these costs independently of the 250€ compensation.
