Procedure: Ryanair flight compensation from Tenerife to Connaught
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair did not respect its scheduled times for your Tenerife - Connaught flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 945 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you financial compensation.
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: Ireland West Knock Airport (NOC)
- Flight distance: 2 945 km (~3h41)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Tenerife - Connaught is eligible?
The compensation for flight TFS-NOC is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
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 Connaught.
-
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
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Ryanair staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
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?
On the TFS-NOC line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Ryanair's legal department.
Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Ryanair systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by Ryanair is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.
For your 400 €, don't compromise with Ryanair without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Tenerife.
