Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Copenhagen

Legal right to compensation: Aer Lingus flight between Dublin and Copenhagen

Your claim for compensation for the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Copenhagen deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Dublin Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 242 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aer Lingus.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aer Lingus offers you a voucher for your Dublin - Copenhagen flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 242 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Copenhagen.
• 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

A work stoppage of Aer Lingus crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Dublin 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.

Your forced stay at Dublin shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your DUB-CPH trip.

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

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

By entrusting your case regarding flight DUB-CPH to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

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

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Dublin - Copenhagen line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
