Flight compensation Ryanair:
Tenerife — Madrid

Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Tenerife - Madrid

From Tenerife South Airport airport, your departure with Ryanair to Madrid didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 823 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 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 - Madrid is eligible?

For an Ryanair flight from Tenerife to Madrid, 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 Madrid.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Tenerife - Madrid trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Tenerife South Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Tenerife South Airport airport, Ryanair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Tenerife South Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

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

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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 Madrid Barajas International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Tenerife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Ryanair's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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.
