Flight compensation Ryanair:
London — Connaught

Legal right: Ryanair flight between London and Connaught

The route LTN - NOC by Ryanair was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

With 610 km between London Luton Airport and Ireland West Knock Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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.

This is not a goodwill 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 London - Connaught is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a travel credit for your London → Connaught flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from London, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Be wary by Ryanair's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

An specialist firm can easily identify whether the strike that impacted your Ryanair London→Connaught flight is an internal or external cause.

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at London remains valid. The hotel is owed if Ryanair pushes your flight by a day.
