Ryanair Flight Delay Claims

If your Ryanair flight arrived more than 3 hours later than scheduled, you may qualify for compensation of up to €600 per passenger, depending on the flight distance.

To qualify, the delay must have been caused by circumstances within the airline’s control, such as operational issues, crew shortages, scheduling problems, or technical faults.

You may be entitled to:

• €250 for shorter flights.
• €400 for medium-distance flights.
• €600 for long-haul qualifying routes.

Compensation For Cancelled Ryanair Flights

Flight cancellations can cause significant inconvenience, particularly when passengers receive little notice before departure. Under EU passenger rights rules, Ryanair may be required to compensate affected passengers when a cancellation occurs within the airline’s control.

You may be eligible if:

• Your flight was cancelled less than 14 days before departure.
• The cancellation was not caused by extraordinary circumstances.
• The replacement flight caused a significant delay to your arrival.

Passengers may also have the right to choose between a refund or alternative transportation.

Ryanair Missed Connection Rights

A missed connection can occur when a delay on one flight prevents you from boarding your next scheduled flight.

If your Ryanair itinerary qualifies under EU passenger rights and the missed connection resulted from an airline-controlled disruption, you may be entitled to compensation.

Eligibility generally depends on:

• The length of the delay at your final destination.
• Whether the flights formed part of a connected itinerary.
• Whether the disruption was within the airline’s responsibility.

Ryanair Overbooking & Denied Boarding Compensation

Although less common, passengers can occasionally be denied boarding because a flight has been oversold.

When this happens against your wishes, EU law may entitle you to compensation in addition to replacement transportation or ticket reimbursement.

You may qualify if:

• You held a valid ticket and reservation.
• You checked in on time.
• Boarding was denied due to overbooking rather than personal reasons.

How Much Compensation Could You Receive?

The amount of compensation depends primarily on flight distance and the extent of the disruption.

Key Notes

• Compensation is based on distance, not ticket price.
• The disruption must generally be within the airline’s responsibility.
• Claims may remain valid for several years depending on local regulations.
• Compensation may be reduced in certain rerouting situations.
