How to be compensated by Ryanair on the Memmingen (FMM) - Faro (FAO) line

From Memmingen Allgau Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Faro didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 919 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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: Memmingen Allgau Airport (FMM)
  • Arrival airport: Faro Airport (FAO)
  • Flight distance: 1 919 km (~2h24)
  • 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 Memmingen - Faro is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Memmingen to Faro, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Memmingen Allgau Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Faro.
  • 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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Memmingen 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 Memmingen.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Memmingen Allgau Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

Getting justice against carrier Ryanair requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

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

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
