Claim up to 250€ for Ryanair flight Palma de Mallorca - Reus

Denied boarding on Ryanair Palma de Mallorca - Reus entitles you to up to 250€. Find out if you're eligible.

Departing from Palma De Mallorca Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 222 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Arrival airport: Reus Air Base (REU)
  • Flight distance: 222 km (~0h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

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

To check if your journey between Palma de Mallorca and Reus qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Reus Air Base}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 222 km fully justifies the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is net and {the airline|Ryanair} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

However, if ground handlers at Palma De Mallorca Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 250€ are not owed.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

Avoid buying your meals without requesting vouchers from Ryanair. If you do pay, keep your receipts carefully.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Ryanair. It is a legal obligation enforceable in court.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

Airlines like Ryanair have whole departments specialised in deterring unassisted passengers. Against this imbalance, having an ally makes all the difference.

If you lack availability for months of back-and-forth, outsourcing your case to legal experts is the most effective way to see your 250€ arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A common question is about processing times. A claim filed directly to Ryanair's customer service can take months, even half a year before you hear back.

If your case is particularly strong regarding the Palma de Mallorca - Reus incident, some services buy out your right to compensation. You get your payout in record time!

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

The automated reply from Ryanair mentioning weather conditions for your Palma de Mallorca→Reus flight is a classic. Eurocontrol archives are public and allow verification each excuse.

Refuse to allow Ryanair to retain the {money|250€} that is legally owed to you. The longer you wait without action is a win for {the airline|Ryanair} and time lost for you.
