Flight compensation Ryanair:
Tenerife — Bremen

Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Tenerife to Bremen

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 472 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Tenerife - Bremen is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Tenerife South Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bremen.
• 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...).

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 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Tenerife, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Ryanair.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Tenerife South Airport, Ryanair must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Tenerife South Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Ryanair.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Ryanair website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

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

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Ryanair on your smartphone.

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 Tenerife - Bremen line.

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.
