Refund and reimbursement for Ryanair: East Midlands to Reus

Denied boarding on Ryanair East Midlands - Reus entitles you to up to 250€. Find out if you're eligible.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 1 313 km route from East Midlands to Reus.

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: East Midlands Airport (EMA)
  • Arrival airport: Reus Air Base (REU)
  • Flight distance: 1 313 km (~1h38)

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair East Midlands - Reus is eligible?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The irony: the longer Ryanair stalls paying your 250€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.
