Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Bordeaux — Dublin

Legal right: Aer Lingus flight between Bordeaux and Dublin

You travelled with Aer Lingus from Bordeaux to Dublin and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Aer Lingus flight Bordeaux - Dublin (1 037 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Good to know? Even if Aer Lingus is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Bordeaux, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Bordeaux - Dublin is eligible?

Be sure to keep your flight records for the Aer Lingus BOD→DUB flight. They constitute the essential proof of your presence on board.

What many don't know: you have several years to submit your request against Aer Lingus for the Bordeaux-Dublin flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dublin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bordeaux airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aer Lingus (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Aer Lingus compensation

Don't be misled by Aer Lingus's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

An aviation law expert can quickly determine whether the strike that disrupted your Aer Lingus Bordeaux-Dublin flight was the airline's responsibility or a third party's.

What are your rights at Bordeaux airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Bordeaux becomes your temporary home because of Aer Lingus, know that your basic needs must be met by the airline. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

Your forced stay at Bordeaux should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for BOD→DUB. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Aer Lingus?

To get started: submit a written complaint to Aer Lingus's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 250€ amount|your specific claim}.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The paradox: the longer Aer Lingus delays paying your 250€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.

Imagine: while you go about your life, lawyers work to secure your 250€ for the Aer Lingus Bordeaux→Dublin flight. That's the benefit of a turnkey service.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is quite common for Aer Lingus's systems to refuse by default your initial claim under a generic pretext that is unfounded.

Specialist lawyers have a extensive catalogue of judgments against Aer Lingus, which is a decisive advantage in negotiations.
