Flight compensation Ryanair:
Dublin — Malta

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Dublin (DUB) - Malta (MLA) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 532 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Dublin - Malta is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair DUB-MLA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dublin.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Malta.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.
