Recover your Ryanair flight compensation for London - Faro

Did you experience a major disruption on your journey from London to Faro with Ryanair? A lengthy delay, a cancelled flight or denied boarding can throw your trip into chaos.

Thanks to EU Regulation CE 261, passengers affected by disruptions on a 1 774 km route can claim a fixed payout from {the carrier|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.

Airlines like Ryanair rely on passengers not knowing to dodge these payouts. Don't make it easy by asserting your rights now.

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

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Faro|time the doors open at Faro Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 400€}.
