  • Flight distance: 1 413 km (~1h46)

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

In practice, to be eligible, your actual arrival at Liverpool John Lennon Airport must have occurred at least 180 minutes behind the original timetable.

Compensation also covers denied boarding. If Ryanair oversold the flight and you couldn't board at Porto, the 250€ payout is guaranteed.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Liverpool.
  • 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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

If your Ryanair flight from Porto was disrupted due to an employee strike, you are entitled to {legal compensation|the 250€ payout}.

In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Porto. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Porto and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?
