Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from London to Reus

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 196 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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: Reus Air Base (REU)
  • Flight distance: 1 196 km (~1h30)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 - Reus is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Reus Air Base airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from London Stansted Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near London Stansted Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Reus Air Base airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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?

On the STN-REU line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Ryanair's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the London - Reus section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Ryanair is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Ryanair without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at London.
