Flight compensation Ryanair:
Liverpool — Barcelona

Refund and reimbursement for Ryanair: Liverpool to Barcelona

Your compensation claim for the Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Barcelona has strong chances. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Ryanair fails its obligations on the 1 388 km route from Liverpool to Barcelona.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

To check if your journey between Liverpool and Barcelona qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Barcelona International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.
