Flight compensation Ryanair:
Vilnius — London

Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Vilnius - London

The VNO - STN route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 685 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 Vilnius International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Vilnius - London is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at London. If Ryanair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at London Stansted Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Vilnius, 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 London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vilnius airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

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 Vilnius airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Vilnius International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Vilnius shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VNO-STN trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

For your Vilnius - London trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Ryanair staff at the Vilnius International Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Ryanair. An expert can reduce this time by half.

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Vilnius - London line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Ryanair convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
