  • Arrival airport: Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA)
  • Flight distance: 913 km (~1h08)

This statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Limoges - Leeds is eligible?

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Leeds|time the doors open at Leeds Bradford Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 250€}.

The indemnity also covers overbooking cases. If Ryanair overbooked the flight and you were left behind at Limoges Airport, the 250€ payout is guaranteed.

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Limoges - Leeds delay was caused by an staff strike at Ryanair, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Ryanair. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Limoges→Leeds flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Ryanair is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Limoges Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

Partner legal platforms have technology to audit Ryanair's real data and disprove false weather excuses.

Some passengers wait over 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can halve this time.

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