Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Shannon Airport (SNN)
- Arrival airport: Lanzarote Airport (ACE)
- Flight distance: 2 669 km (~3h20)

How to know if the flight Ryanair Shannon - Arrecife is eligible?
Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Official flight records will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Lanzarote Airport.
Note that the distance of 2 669 km fully justifies the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is non-negotiable and {the airline|Ryanair} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.
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...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Shannon, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
A strike action by Ryanair's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.
A strike by air traffic control at Shannon Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Ryanair cannot act.
What are your rights at Shannon airport in case of prolonged wait?
An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Ryanair is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.
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.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
Initiating a claim against Ryanair for a flight from Shannon to Arrecife can be daunting if you act without help. The airline's team frequently will invoke extraordinary circumstances to dodge liability.
This is where lawyers and expert services come in. By engaging a expert service, you assess eligibility in minutes and delegate the entire process to recover your 400€ with peace of mind.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
The irony: the longer Ryanair stalls paying your 400€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.
By handing over the recovery of your 400€ to a professional service, you avoid long delays and the anxiety of seeing your case shelved, as follow-ups are handled by aviation law professionals.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
