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: San Javier Airport (MJV)
  • Arrival airport: Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK)
  • Flight distance: 1 992 km (~2h29)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Ryanair.

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Eurocontrol data will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

Watch out for traps: Ryanair might try to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Murcia airport.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A strike action by Ryanair's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not owed due to an external strike at Murcia, care (food/accommodation) remains the responsibility of Ryanair. Never forget this.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Ryanair must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Murcia.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Murcia remains valid. The hotel is owed if Ryanair pushes your flight by a day.

Imagine: while you go about your life, lawyers work to secure your 400€ for the Ryanair Murcia→Prestwick flight. That's the benefit of a turnkey service.

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

It is quite common for Ryanair's systems to refuse by default your initial claim under a generic pretext that is unfounded.
