Flight compensation Ryanair:
Marseille — Bordeaux

Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Marseille - Bordeaux

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Marseille - Bordeaux flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 498 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Marseille - Bordeaux is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Marseille to Bordeaux, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Marseille Provence Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Marseille - Bordeaux trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Marseille Provence Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

What are your rights at Marseille airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Marseille.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Marseille Provence Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Marseille can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
