  • Flight distance: 1 857 km (~2h19)

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

To determine if your journey between Faro and Liverpool qualifies for compensation, the determining criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Liverpool John Lennon Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Even if Ryanair offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Liverpool is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

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

During that interminable wait in the hall at Faro Airport, remember Ryanair has a duty to look after you. This includes food, but also the ability to make two calls at no cost.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Ryanair. It is a binding duty enforceable in court.

By entrusting your FAO-LPL case to our experts, you benefit from the "no result, no charge" principle (you only pay if you win).

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

The facts speak clearly: on average, a passenger without assistance takes over 120 days to recover their 400€ from Ryanair. With an expert, this drops to 4 to 8 weeks.

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