  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 1 004 km (~1h15)

This statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Szczecin - London is eligible?

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at London|time the doors open at London Stansted Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 250€}.

The indemnity also covers overbooking cases. If Ryanair overbooked the flight and you were left behind at Szczecin, the 250€ payout is owed by right.

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