Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Manchester to Palma de Mallorca

From Manchester Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Palma de Mallorca didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 581 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Flight distance: 1 581 km (~1h59)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Manchester - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair MAN-PMI flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Manchester.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Manchester, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
