Understanding Your Rights on Ryanair Flights

UK air passenger regulations (UK 261) protect travellers from delays or cancellations, including those on Ryanair flights. These regulations ensure you can receive compensation for flight disruptions, up to £520 per passenger.

Which Flights Are Covered?

Ryanair flights departing from any UK airport: Covered.
Ryanair flights arriving at a UK airport from an EU country: Covered.
Ryanair flights to or from non-EU countries: Coverage depends on specific scenarios.

Eligibility for Compensation Due to Delays

You can claim up to £520 for delays over 3 hours. Eligibility depends on how much the delay extended beyond the scheduled arrival time. These rules don’t apply to circumstances beyond the airline’s control, such as severe weather or strikes.

Understanding Flight Cancellation Compensation with Ryanair

If Ryanair cancels your flight, UK air passenger rights oblige the airline to offer either an alternative flight or a refund. For cancellations within 14 days of departure, you might be eligible for up to £520 per passenger. However, exceptions apply in ‘extraordinary circumstances.’
