Flight compensation Ryanair:
Santiago — Valencia

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Santiago and Valencia

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 764 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Santiago - Valencia is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Santiago - Valencia 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 Valencia.
• 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

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 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?

During these long hours of waiting in the Santiago de Compostela Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Santiago shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your SCQ-VLC trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Ryanair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Santiago de Compostela Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € 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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
