Flight compensation Ryanair:
Tenerife — East Midlands

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Tenerife and East Midlands

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Tenerife to East Midlands deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 029 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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 - East Midlands is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at East Midlands. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at East Midlands 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 East Midlands.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Tenerife South Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Tenerife shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your TFS-EMA trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Tenerife - East Midlands trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Tenerife South Airport counter during the incident.

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