Ryanair flight delay claims: how to get started

Keep the flight record and check the current claim instructions before choosing your next step.

Information checked: 24 October 2026

No payment. No appointment. You can claim directly from your airline for free.

Ryanair’s published claim procedure

Ryanair’s conditions say passengers should claim directly and allow 14 days, or a shorter period required by applicable law, before engaging a third party. They also allow consultation before submission. This describes the airline’s published position; it does not establish that every restriction on representation is legally enforceable.

A practical starting point

Follow the compensation route from Ryanair’s official Help Centre. Keep the account acknowledgement, case reference and a copy of the claim. If the airline asks for passenger verification, the customer may need to complete that step personally.

If you have already contacted Ryanair

  • Note the submission date and keep the response.
  • Distinguish an acknowledgement from a final refusal.
  • Record any payment or offer without assuming it settles every issue.

Tell us whether another firm already acts for you before asking for help. We should not duplicate a live claim.

What would Sort It assess?

We start with your flight facts and existing correspondence, then explain whether our proposed service may fit. Read our eligibility guide and compensation amounts. A free enquiry is not an airline submission or paid appointment.

YOUR FIRST CLEAR STEP

Check your flight for free.

Your free assessment enquiry will be sent to Sort It Flights through HubSpot. This is a human-reviewed enquiry, not an instant eligibility result or a paid appointment. Give a brief summary only; leave out sensitive details and documents. An enquiry does not confirm that we can accept your case or protect a deadline.
