When the services of any third party offering to provide services other than carriage by air (such as rail and coach transfers, hotel or hostel reservations, car rental, parking services or airport security fast track services) are promoted either on https://www.ronanair.com/ or in any other media, these services are operated by third parties and the terms and conditions of the third party service provider will apply. We are not responsible for the correct performance or otherwise of these third party suppliers and in particular are not responsible for late, cancelled or incorrectly featured transfer information.
If, after selecting and paying for one travel service, you book additional travel services for your trip via our website, you will not benefit from rights applying to packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302.

18.2 Owing to the high costs of security and administration, we do not accept cash for fares, taxes, fees or charges for carriage of excess baggage and sporting equipment. Some airports may have local arrangements for the acceptance of cash and will often accept major debit cards issued in their country. Passengers intending to pay for these items at the airport should contact the airport in advance to determine if the airport will accept cash and/or which debit cards are acceptable as a form of payment.
18.3 Passengers who pay for their flights with a form of payment billed in a currency other than the currency of the country from which the flight departs will be charged in the currency of issue of that form of payment, inclusive of a ‘dynamic currency conversion’ or ‘multi-currency pricing’ rate, depending on the form of payment used. You can check the actual amount to be billed in the currency of your form of payment prior to payment being made.

RonanAir regulations on specific subjects
Air carrier liability for passengers and their baggage
This information notice summarizes the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention 1999.
Compensation in the case of death or injury
There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 113,100 Special Drawing Rights ("SDRs") the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.
Advance Payments
If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs.
Passenger Delays
In the case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4,694 SDRs.
Baggage Delays
In the case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,131 SDRs.
Delay, Loss or Damage to Baggage
The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,131 SDRs. In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.
Claim Time Limits for Delayed, Lost or Damaged Baggage
The reporting of damage/misplaced baggage at your arrival airport does not represent a claim to RonanAir and therefore it is necessary to also make a claim directly http://www.ronanair.com/index.php/general/claims within the time limits set by the Montreal Convention 1999.
Higher Limits for Baggage
Under the Montreal Convention 1999, RonanAir’s liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage is limited to 1131 SDR (approx. €1300). A passenger can benefit from a higher checked baggage liability by making a Special Checked Baggage Declaration of Value and paying a fee of €50/£50 or equivalent in local currency (plus VAT for domestic flights), per person/per one way flight. The payment of this fee raises the checked baggage liability limit to 2,262 Special Drawing Rights (approx. €2600). Each Checked Baggage Special Declaration of Value Fee must be paid for at the airport of departure.
Liability of Contracting and Actual Carriers
If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.
Time Limitation for Action
Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.
Basis for the above information
The basis of the rules described above in the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No.2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No.889/2002) and the national legislation of the Member states.

Carriage of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility
(Notice Pursuant To EC Regulation 1107/2006 : Carriage of Disabled Persons and Persons with Reduced Mobility)
RonanAir is committed to accommodate Disabled Persons and Persons with Reduced Mobility on board our flights. Transport limitations which may apply are due to applicable safety regulations and may be dictated by factors such as aircraft type or cabin configuration, load factor or number or categories of disabled and reduced mobility passengers, which should not exceed the number of passengers capable of assisting them in case of an emergency evacuation, any other factor(s) or circumstances impacting on the application of emergency procedures by the operating crew members. In very exceptional cases, we may be required to deny you boarding, if this would constitute a risk to our other customers, the crew or yourself. Our team, however, will evaluate your particular situation in an effort to accommodate your needs as best as possible and advise you about any transport limitations that may apply to your specific case.
Cabin Seating Restrictions for Certain Categories of Passenger
In accordance with regulatory requirements (EU-OPS 1.260), our flight crew must ensure that access to emergency equipment and evacuation of the aircraft in an emergency will not be impeded before allocating seats
Seating Restriction– For safety reasons customers requiring one of the below types of airport special assistance should be seated next to a window UNLESS the window seat is occupied by a travel companion or the flight load allows for empty seats between the disabled customer and the window*
Please note that this free seat allocation excludes emergency exit, priority and extra legroom seats. These customers will be boarded after general boarding is completed.
The minimum distance between our seat rows is of 31 inches. The minimum seat width between the armrests is of 39.37cm (15.5 inches). The minimum size of our aircraft doors is of 76.2 X 165.1cm. If we are unable to accommodate the needs of reduced mobility passengers due to the size of our seats or aircraft doors, we will be required to deny them boarding.
Passengers, with limited or no mobility in the cabin
Passengers with an intellectual disability
Passengers who are blind/vision impaired requiring assistance
Please note: emergency exit row seats cannot be used by passengers requiring airport special assistance of any kind as they could obstruct access to emergency equipment or hinder an emergency evacuation.
The final decision relating to aircraft /seating safety issues always rests with the Captain.
