EU-guaranteed compensation: Ryanair flight Zaragoza - Beauvais

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Zaragoza → Beauvais flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 900 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Ryanair to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: Zaragoza Air Base (ZAZ)
  • Arrival airport: Beauvais (BVA)
  • Flight distance: 900 km (~1h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Contrary to what {many think|Ryanair might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Zaragoza - Beauvais is eligible?

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Zaragoza, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be misled by Ryanair's vague terms: a unannounced or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

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