Flight compensation Ryanair:
London — Ibiza

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the London (STN) - Ibiza (IBZ) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your London - Ibiza flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 450 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight STN-IBZ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at London Stansted Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your London - Ibiza 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?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at London Stansted Airport airport, Ryanair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at London Stansted Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

Getting justice against carrier Ryanair requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

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

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
