Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Boston — Dublin

Claim and compensation for flight Aer Lingus Boston - Dublin

The BOS - DUB route operated by Aer Lingus experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 4 803 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Aer Lingus is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aer Lingus offers you a voucher for your Boston - Dublin flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 4 803 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Boston 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Boston - Dublin trip is due to an internal strike within Aer Lingus, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Aer Lingus is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Aer Lingus for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Boston remains valid. The hotel is due if Aer Lingus offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Aer Lingus?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Aer Lingus boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 600 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Airlines like Aer Lingus sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Aer Lingus flight from Boston can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Aer Lingus will always prefer to compromise and pay the 600 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
