Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Tenerife - Barcelona
If your trip departing from Tenerife South Airport and arriving at Barcelona International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
Given the route between Tenerife and Barcelona (2 245 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
- Arrival airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Flight distance: 2 245 km (~2h48)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Tenerife South Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Tenerife - Barcelona is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Barcelona. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, your claim is legitimate.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Tenerife, 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 Barcelona.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tenerife airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Tenerife, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.
A strike by weather services at Tenerife South Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.
What are your rights at Tenerife airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Tenerife South Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.
Your forced stay at Tenerife shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your TFS-BCN trip.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?
It is strongly recommended to keep your Ryanair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Tenerife South 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 400 € without stress.
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 Tenerife 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.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
