Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

• 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 misled by Ryanair's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

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

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

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this at the expense of Ryanair.
