Ryanair flight delayed or cancelled? Claim up to €600
Ryanair is Europe's largest low-cost carrier and operates extensively from Lisbon, Porto, and Faro. Despite their budget model, Ryanair passengers have full rights under EC 261/2004 for delays over 3 hours or cancellations.
Claims reputation
Ryanair is notoriously difficult when handling compensation claims. They frequently reject claims citing extraordinary circumstances and often require escalation to national enforcement bodies.
Tips for claiming against Ryanair
- Document everything at the airport — Ryanair staff may not proactively inform you of your rights.
- Ryanair's online claim form is deliberately complex; using a claims service can significantly speed up the process.
- Don't accept Ryanair vouchers or travel credit if you're entitled to cash compensation.
