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.

  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 1 140 km (~1h26)

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

As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. Ryanair will almost always choose to pay the 250€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
