Flight compensation Ryanair:
Prestwick — Dublin

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Prestwick - Dublin

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

By taking off from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 256 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Prestwick 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 €.

A strike by weather services at Glasgow Prestwick Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

For your Prestwick - Dublin trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Glasgow Prestwick Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Prestwick - Dublin line.

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.
