Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Manchester to Arrecife
Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Manchester to Arrecife deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 867 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Manchester Airport (MAN)
- Arrival airport: Lanzarote Airport (ACE)
- Flight distance: 2 867 km (~3h35)
- 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 Manchester - Arrecife is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Manchester and Arrecife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.
