Refund and compensation Ryanair: route London to Berlin

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from London to Berlin deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from London Stansted Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 907 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Arrival airport: Berlin (SXF)
  • Flight distance: 907 km (~1h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from London Stansted Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair London - Berlin is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € 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 Berlin.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from London, 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 strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your London - Berlin trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at London Stansted Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to London Stansted Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Ryanair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at London Stansted Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight STN-SXF to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
