Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Boston

CE 261 compensation: Aer Lingus flight Dublin - Boston

Boarding denied on your Aer Lingus flight Dublin ✈ Boston? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 4 803 km, Aer Lingus is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Aer Lingus from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Aer Lingus must pay you 600€.

In summary: three situations trigger the 600€ payment on Aer Lingus Dublin-Boston: late arrival over 180 minutes, last-minute cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. Determine your situation right now.
