Know your Ryanair flight compensation rights

Your right to compensation for delayed Ryanair flights is protected in many cases by European regulation EC 261, which has been incorporated into UK law as UK 261.

Compensation ranges between £220 and £520 per person, depending on flight distance. The amounts are set by EC 261 (and UK 261) regulations, so Ryanair can't offer you less.

EC 261 applies to all flights departing from the EU and EU-based airlines arriving at EU airports. Nearly all Ryanair flights are therefore covered by EC Regulation 261.

You're entitled to compensation for delays of 3+ hours, cancellations, and denied boarding on Ryanair flights, unless caused by extraordinary circumstances.

AirHelp supports your right to compensation and makes the claims process simple. Our assistance is risk-free – you pay nothing if we don’t win your compensation.

Compensation for delayed Ryanair flights

Although airlines like Ryanair aim to maintain their scheduled times, flights may still arrive late. Fortunately, as a traveller, you are covered by airline passenger rights when Ryanair flights are delayed.

As Ryanair is headquartered in the EU, nearly all of its flights are protected by EC 261, one of the most comprehensive laws protecting air passenger rights globally.

EC Regulation 261 gives passengers the right to claim compensation when they have faced delayed, cancelled, or overbooked flights that are not their fault.

There are some extraordinary circumstances that may exempt airlines from paying compensation, such as bad weather or problems at the airport. Nevertheless, if the delay is caused by technical issues or a strike by airline staff, you will likely be eligible for compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004.

Moreover, you generally have up to 3 years to make a Ryanair flight delay compensation claim. Simply enter your flight details and our user-friendly flight delay compensation calculator will tell you if you qualify for monetary compensation, and our team of professionals will be available to assist you in obtaining it.

  • To learn more about Ryanair punctuality

Ryanair compensation for cancelled flights

In the event of a Ryanair flight cancellation, European laws on air passenger rights are clear: Ryanair must offer you alternative transportation to get to your destination or, if you prefer, a refund.

Furthermore, if you received a notice regarding cancellation less than 14 days before departure, you may also be eligible to claim compensation of up to £520 per person.

When Ryanair cancels flights, it will usually attempt to rebook passengers on another flight at no extra cost. If this does not work for you, you may request other changes or choose to no longer take the trip.

If Ryanair books you a new flight that arrives at a similar time to your original flight, it is not required to pay compensation. This is because your plans will have minimal disruption. However, in many cases, passengers whose flights are cancelled at the last minute have the right to file a claim for compensation against Ryanair.

These rights do not apply if the flight cancellation was caused by an event beyond Ryanair's control, such as severe weather conditions or an accident at the airport. Such events are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.
