Flight compensation Ryanair:
London — Vilnius

How to claim your money from Ryanair on London (STN) → Vilnius (VNO)

Your Ryanair flight from London to Vilnius was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 685 km, Ryanair is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Ryanair from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

Whether your Ryanair flight London→Vilnius was cancelled or you were bumped, the 400€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

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