Your entitlement: Ryanair flight from Sevilla to Marseille

You were due to travel with Ryanair from Sevilla to Marseille and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 1 153 km between Sevilla Airport and Marseille Provence Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Sevilla Airport (SVQ)
  • Arrival airport: Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)
  • Flight distance: 1 153 km (~1h26)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Good to know? Even if Ryanair is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Sevilla Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Sevilla - Marseille is eligible?

Be sure to save your flight records for the Ryanair SVQ→MRS flight. They constitute the essential proof of your entitlement.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marseille.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Sevilla airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

In practice, cabin crew walkouts at Ryanair are cases where {compensation is almost certain|your chances of getting 250€ are high}. Specialists master this distinction and can exploit it in your favour.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by airport staff, Ryanair is released from paying the 250€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

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

Your involuntary layover at Sevilla must not cost you any additional money beyond your initial ticket for SVQ-MRS. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.
