Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Shannon and Memmingen

The SNN - FMM 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 1 452 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Shannon Airport (SNN)
  • Arrival airport: Memmingen Allgau Airport (FMM)
  • Flight distance: 1 452 km (~1h49)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 - Memmingen is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Memmingen. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Memmingen Allgau 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 Memmingen.
  • 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

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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.

Your forced stay at Shannon shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your SNN-FMM 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 Shannon Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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.

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?

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

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
