Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Boston

Get your Aer Lingus flight compensation for the route Dublin - Boston

From Dublin Airport airport, your departure with Aer Lingus to Boston didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 4 803 km of flight, the company Aer Lingus is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aer Lingus owes you 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Aer Lingus DUB-BOS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dublin.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Boston.
• 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 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Dublin Airport airport, Aer Lingus is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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 600 € from Aer Lingus?

The amicable route with Aer Lingus to recover 600 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Aer Lingus website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 600 € indemnity.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Aer Lingus. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Aer Lingus on your smartphone.

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.
