Can I Still Claim Compensation for a Flight Delay That Happe

Unfortunately, claiming compensation for a from November 30, 2017, may be difficult due to time limitations on claims. Each country has a specific statute of limitations for flight compensation claims, meaning there’s a deadline for submitting them.

For Ryanair flights under EU Regulation 261/2004, the time limit depends on where the claim is filed:

UK & Ireland: 6 years
Germany: 3 years
France: 5 years
Spain: 5 years
Italy: 2 years
Since you made the claim on December 4, 2018, it was within most EU deadlines. However, if Ryanair has been unresponsive or rejecting your claim, you still have options:

Check Your Claim Status: If you filed directly with Ryanair but haven't received a proper response, check your records to see if they acknowledged the claim. Airlines sometimes delay responses to discourage passengers from pursuing compensation.

Seek Legal Assistance: If your claim is still valid under the relevant country's statute of limitations, DelayDollars or other legal claim services can help you escalate the case against Ryanair.

Aviation Authorities: You can also report Ryanair to the aviation authority in the country where your flight originated. Regulators can intervene if the airline is ignoring valid claims.

Since your flight was delayed by 6 hours and 42 minutes, you were likely entitled to up to €250-€400 per passenger under EU rules. If Ryanair is refusing to pay, DelayDollars can review your case and determine whether legal action is still possible.
