Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Bologna

Procedure: Aer Lingus flight compensation from Dublin to Bologna

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Aer Lingus did not respect its scheduled times for your Dublin - Bologna flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 611 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Aer Lingus to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Bologna, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dublin Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bologna.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dublin 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 fooled by Aer Lingus's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Aer Lingus must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Dublin.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Dublin Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aer Lingus?

Getting justice against carrier Aer Lingus requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Aer Lingus flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aer Lingus convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
