Disrupted Ryanair flight Edinburgh ✈ Arrecife: claim your compensation

Every year, thousands of passengers face disruptions on Edinburgh → Arrecife with Ryanair. Few realise they can claim a legal payout.

Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 3 110 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

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.

This statutory compensation system was designed to deter airlines from altering schedules without valid grounds. Make sure you invoke this often-overlooked regulation.
