File your refund for Ryanair Poitiers → London

Your payout case for the Ryanair flight from Poitiers to London has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Ryanair breaches its duties on the 589 km route from Poitiers to London.

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: Poitiers-Biard Airport (PIS)
  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 589 km (~0h44)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

To determine if your flight between Poitiers and London is eligible for a payout, the determining criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at London Stansted Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Even if Ryanair reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at London exceeds 3 hours.

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 Poitiers airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Poitiers, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Ryanair. This is a separate right.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 250€ question, if the delay drags on at Poitiers-Biard Airport, Ryanair is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

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