Flight compensation Ryanair:
Liverpool — Ibiza

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Liverpool and Ibiza

If your trip departing from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and arriving at Ibiza Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Liverpool and Ibiza (1 640 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Ibiza. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Ibiza Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 640 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Liverpool, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

If Liverpool John Lennon Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Liverpool shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your LPL-IBZ trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

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

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