Flight compensation Ryanair:
Porto — Dublin

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Porto to Dublin

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Porto - Dublin flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 366 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Porto - Dublin is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Dublin Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Porto without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dublin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Porto airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Porto was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Porto 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.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Porto, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Porto terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Dublin Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

On the OPO-DUB line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Ryanair's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Porto - Dublin section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Ryanair is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Ryanair is often more striking.
