Flight delayed - compensation?
Discussion
V8LM said:
The outbound Ryanair flight was 3.5 hours late leaving Stansted on Friday, so if you were on 9962 delayed 3.5 hours back (ATD 3:31 pm) then maybe question the medical emergency and diversion...
ETA:
The outbound flight would probably have been the first of the day for the aircraft - http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightS...
Flightradar24 has the status of the flight as Unknown - https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/fr9961
No, it was the FR9968 on the 23rd (which ended up being the 24th)ETA:

The outbound flight was indeed diverted to Brussels - https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/fr9967#...http://www.flightstats.com/go/Mobile/flightStatusB...

ker, people like you cost us all. Perhaps you'll see the light when some of those you have undoubtedly given poor financial advice to along the way come banging on your door looking for 'compensation'.

Dear me, really? So you lost a few hours late at night? I can't see that being worth more than a few pence in your case, in all honesty. Scrounging fker, people like you cost us all.

I take it you've never spent the hours of 11pm to 4am in an airport with 2 young kids. Not a nice experience, and worse than that having no updates so was contemplating the whole night there. Selfish?? Mmmmmm you need to get a grip you old git.

This is why your flight with Ryanair is so cheap. 90% of the time they might be fine but when it goes wrong you're simply left in the sI take it you've never spent the hours of 11pm to 4am in an airport with 2 young kids.

t, I wouldn't dream of booking a flight with them certainly not a holiday to Sofia with my kids, I bet your tickets cost a fraction of what you'll be claiming in compensation.
OP, personally I wouldn't have booked a holiday where the returning flight was due to land just before midnight if the missus and I were due to be in work the next morning.
No doubt you had good reasons. By the way, have you checked your travel insurance to see what the delay limit is on that?

Does that men I can get compo for being delayed an extra 5 hours in brunei in december? Compo not usually my thing and just kind of sucked it up at the time but had to replace onward tickets which obviously wasnt cheap - and "due to aircraft rotation" sounds a lot like a planned excercise to me, so kind of annoying we werent prewarned - might have able to swap onward flight cheaper!. The first/most I knew of it was via the mrs IM'ing me from 8000 miles away rather than the airline whose care I was in, and thought I was about to climb on a plane with!
Ony caveat it was two flights booked as one booking, london-brunei then brunei-melbourne
If you ever have to kill 7 hours in an airport, pray its not brunei. 8 gates, 1 snack shop and dry state. FML.

Again, I don't know why you're attacking the OP.
Lets say your train is late and you get an automatic refund of part of the fare (which happens). Would you write a cheque to the train company and tell them you don't want it?
This is not an automatic refund so not comparable, you have to seek it. Besides which you hit on the key difference, train ticket refunds are exactly that, refunds. If you are delayed/cancelled one way you get that leg refunded not the whole ticket and certainly not compensated arbitrary amount possibly to the tune of multiples of the fare you paid.Lets say your train is late and you get an automatic refund of part of the fare (which happens).

I am reasonably confident that the OP didn't pay €400 each way for his Ryanair tickets. Therefore while he may be legally entitled to such compensation he doesn't deserve it.

I once spent 6 months in Bosnia surrounded by screaming women and kids, mostly upset because their house had been blown up and the men folk all killed. Sleep was hard to come by but not due to the crappy accommodation. I wonder if there is a handy website that I can visit to claim a few pounds, I could then forward to some of the people I met who have never had a holiday.

The EU rules are that if your flight is with the EU (which at the moment, it is) and between 1,500 and 3,500 which I think Sofia is within, you are entitled to compensation of up to €400 per passenger.
However, this only applies if the airline is at fault.
So, returning from Gothenburg two years or so ago, one of the flight attendants managed to damage a door on the flight before ours which resulted in the aircraft being grounded and the two remaining flights (including ours) being delayed...everyone bumped forward to the next available plane...etc.... Should have arrived at Stansted at 10.20pm - made in at around 3.00am. That's a slam dunk compo claim.
Diverting to assist an unwell passenger is not the fault of the airline.
