Flight compensation Ryanair:
Shannon — London

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Shannon - London

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

Given the route between Shannon and London (623 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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.

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 - London is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Shannon, 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 London.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Shannon - London trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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?

Don't buy your food without first asking Ryanair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

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 Shannon Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Shannon to London Gatwick Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Shannon can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Shannon - London line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
