Flight compensation Ryanair:
Tenerife — Leeds

Legal right: Ryanair flight between Tenerife and Leeds

You travelled with Ryanair from Tenerife to Leeds and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

With 3 118 km between Tenerife South Airport and Leeds Bradford Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 400€ per passenger.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Ryanair, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Tenerife - Leeds is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Leeds|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Ryanair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Ryanair.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage by Ryanair's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Ryanair. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Tenerife→Leeds flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.
