Flight compensation Ryanair:
Palma de Mallorca — Reus

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Palma de Mallorca and Reus

If your trip departing from Palma De Mallorca Airport and arriving at Reus Air Base operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Palma De Mallorca Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 222 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Palma De Mallorca Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Palma de Mallorca - Reus is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Palma de Mallorca and Reus entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 222 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Reus Air Base, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
