Ryanair compensation claims take at least 3 months. In our experience, they do take more time than when working with many other airlines. The main reason it is so, is because very often with Ryanair you have to take a case to court. If you're dealing with the case on your own, this is up to you to do that.

EU261 therefore continues, for the foreseeable future, to give passengers the same rights that they had previously. This includes rights created by past EU case law (such as the right to compensation for delay created in the controversial Sturgeon case), which will continue to bind lower UK courts.
