Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between London and Tenerife
The STN - TFS route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
Given the route between London and Tenerife (2 997 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
- Arrival airport: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
- Flight distance: 2 997 km (~3h45)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.
How to know if the flight Ryanair London - Tenerife is eligible?
To determine if your trip between London and Tenerife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from London, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
-
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
If your Ryanair flight from London Stansted Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your London - Tenerife flight.
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.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at London remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.
