FR 57 (FR57) is sold by Ryanair. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.
FR57 departs from United Kingdom and lands in Spain. If Ryanair also operates the flight, EU261 (as well as UK261) may apply, as Ryanair is an EU airline. If another airline operates it, that airline decides.
With about 1,683 km between LPL and ALC (medium-haul (1,500–3,500 km)), compensation may be £350 (UK261), or €400 if EU261 applies, if you are entitled to it. All amounts
Does EU261 apply to Ryanair flight FR 57?
UK261 may apply. EU261 may also apply if the operating airline is an EU airline and you have not already received compensation and assistance in the UK.
Who operates Ryanair flight FR 57?
In our data, Ryanair is the airline selling FR57. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was FR 57 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If FR57 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (£350 (UK261), or €400 if EU261 applies).
