Flight compensation Ryanair:
Malaga — Bristol

Steps: compensation for Ryanair flight from Malaga to Bristol

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Malaga → Bristol flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 1 641 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

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.

Unlike what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Malaga - Bristol is eligible?

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

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bristol.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malaga airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Ryanair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.
