Flight compensation Ryanair:
London — Riga

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between London and Riga

The STN - RIX route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 625 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your London - Riga flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € 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 Riga.
• 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

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?

During these long hours of waiting in the London Stansted Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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.
