Flight compensation Ryanair:
Londonderry — Faro

How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Londonderry (LDY) - Faro (FAO) line

From City of Derry Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Faro didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 006 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Londonderry airport.
