Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Dublin - Faro

The DUB - FAO route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Dublin and Faro (1 829 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Dublin Airport (DUB)
  • Arrival airport: Faro Airport (FAO)
  • Flight distance: 1 829 km (~2h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Dublin Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Dublin - Faro is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Dublin - Faro flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Faro Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Dublin Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Dublin airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Dublin shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your DUB-FAO trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Dublin - Faro trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Dublin Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight DUB-FAO to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

On the DUB-FAO line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Ryanair's legal department.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Ryanair systems.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by Ryanair is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Ryanair is often more striking.
