Flight compensation Ryanair:
Poitiers — Shannon

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Poitiers and Shannon

The PIS - SNN route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Poitiers and Shannon (949 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 Poitiers-Biard Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Shannon. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Shannon Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 949 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 Shannon.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Poitiers, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

If Poitiers-Biard Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Poitiers-Biard Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Poitiers to Shannon Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Poitiers can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
