Ryanair flight delay and cancellation compensation

Check likely UK261 eligibility, prepare the evidence and submit directly through the official Ryanair route.

Form-specific point: Submit in the passenger's name through Ryanair's own EU261 form before using a representative or ADR.

Before opening the form

  • Confirm Ryanair was the operating airline.
  • Have the booking reference, passenger names, flight number and original flight date.
  • Record the final arrival delay and the airline's stated reason.
  • Prepare itemised receipts separately from the fixed-compensation request.

Submit directly

Ryanair asks passengers to submit eligible passenger-rights claims directly through its own form.

  1. Use the Ryanair EU261 form for the disrupted Ryanair-operated flight and the passengers on the booking.
  2. State the final-destination arrival delay and keep fixed compensation distinct from care expenses.
  3. Save the form confirmation and every Ryanair response before escalating the same complaint.

Open the Ryanair EU261 form

If the form has moved, use the official Ryanair disruption help page.

If the claim is refused or unanswered

The CAA's current airline list places Ryanair complaints with AviationADR after Ryanair has handled the complaint.

Check AviationADR

Ask for the precise refusal reason and supporting evidence before escalating. The airline's current final response should name the competent complaint handler.
