Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Fuerteventura

How to claim your money from Aer Lingus on Dublin (DUB) → Fuerteventura (FUE)

Flight cancelled on your Aer Lingus flight Dublin ✈ Fuerteventura? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 2 845 km, Aer Lingus is held to a payout requirement if boarding is denied.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Fuerteventura Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aer Lingus owes you 400€.

If you had a connection are equally covered. If your first Aer Lingus segment Dublin→Fuerteventura leads to a missed connection, the total delay at your final destination counts.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Fuerteventura.
• 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 by Aer Lingus's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not payable due to an external strike at Dublin, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Aer Lingus. This is a separate right.

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 wellbeing of passengers stuck at Dublin. The threshold rises to 3 hours for flights of 1500 to 3500 km.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Aer Lingus must also cover your hotel night close to Dublin Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.

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

Anticipate pushback from Aer Lingus. From automated emails and buck-passing, the process can drag on for months without professional help.

Partner legal platforms have technology to audit Aer Lingus's real data and disprove false weather excuses.

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

Don't give up faced with Aer Lingus's silence. It's a deliberate tactic to discourage claimants. Data confirms that over 80% of passengers give up along the way.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 400€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

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

Don't take at face value Aer Lingus's email claiming that Dublin's airport was blocked by snow without consulting certified METAR data.

Aviation law experts have a vast record of rulings against Aer Lingus, which is a powerful lever in proceedings.
