Flight compensation Ryanair:
Shannon — Arrecife

Refund and compensation Ryanair: route Shannon to Arrecife

If your trip departing from Shannon Airport and arriving at Lanzarote Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Shannon and Arrecife (2 669 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Shannon - Arrecife is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Shannon - Arrecife flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 669 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Arrecife.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Shannon 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 400 €.

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

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Shannon 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 Shannon shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your SNN-ACE trip.
