Flight compensation Ryanair:
Memmingen — Alicante

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Memmingen and Alicante

If your trip departing from Memmingen Allgau Airport and arriving at Alicante International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Memmingen and Alicante (1 387 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Memmingen Allgau Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Memmingen - Alicante is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Alicante. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Alicante International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Memmingen, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Memmingen 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 Memmingen - Alicante trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Memmingen Allgau Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Memmingen remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

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.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
