Flight compensation Ryanair:
Liverpool — Tenerife

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Liverpool and Tenerife

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 029 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 - Tenerife is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Liverpool and Tenerife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
• 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.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Liverpool - Tenerife trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Liverpool John Lennon Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Liverpool can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Liverpool - Tenerife line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
