Flight compensation Ryanair:
Palma de Mallorca — Prestwick

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Palma de Mallorca to Prestwick

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 855 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.

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 Palma de Mallorca - Prestwick is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Glasgow Prestwick 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 PMI-PIK flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Palma de Mallorca.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Prestwick.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palma de Mallorca 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 Palma de Mallorca - Prestwick 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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca 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 Palma de Mallorca.

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