Flight compensation Ryanair:
Shannon — Tenerife

Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Shannon - Tenerife

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Shannon - Tenerife flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 814 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Ryanair flight from Shannon to Tenerife, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Ryanair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Shannon Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
• 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 - Tenerife 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?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Shannon.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Shannon Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Tenerife South Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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?

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
