Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Tenerife and Hahn
If your trip departing from Tenerife South Airport and arriving at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
By taking off from Tenerife South Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 162 km determines your legal compensation level.
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: Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN)
- Flight distance: 3 162 km (~3h57)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Tenerife - Hahn flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.
