London — Shannon

File your refund for Ryanair London → Shannon

Your payout case for the Ryanair flight from London to Shannon deserves attention. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

Leaving London Stansted Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 629 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

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

To verify if your flight between London and Shannon is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Shannon Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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