How to get compensated from Ryanair on Faro (FAO) - Bremen (BRE)

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Faro → Bremen flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 2 204 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

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: Faro Airport (FAO)
  • Arrival airport: Bremen Airport (BRE)
  • Flight distance: 2 204 km (~2h45)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Ryanair from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

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

Whether your Ryanair flight Faro→Bremen was cancelled or you were bumped, the 400€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

To recap: three scenarios activate the 400€ payment on Ryanair Faro→Bremen: delay ≥3h, cancellation <14 days, or overbooking. Check which applies without delay.

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