Flight compensation Ryanair:
Santiago — Gran Canaria

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Santiago to Gran Canaria

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Santiago to Gran Canaria deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 778 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Santiago de Compostela Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Santiago - Gran Canaria is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Santiago, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Gran Canaria.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Santiago 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.

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

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

If Santiago de Compostela Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Santiago remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

Starting a procedure against Ryanair for a flight from Santiago to Gran Canaria can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight SCQ-LPA to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
