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

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Billund|time the doors open at Billund Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 250€}.

The 250€ compensation applies for each traveller. For a couple: each person is entitled to {the same amount|250€}. Even on a short flight, families can recover a significant sum.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

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