Flight compensation Ryanair:
Perpignan — London

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Perpignan and London

If your trip departing from Perpignan and arriving at London Stansted Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Perpignan and London (1 036 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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 Perpignan, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Perpignan - London is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Perpignan - London flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 036 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 London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Perpignan airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Perpignan terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Perpignan shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PGF-STN trip.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
