Get your Aer Lingus flight compensation for the route Dublin - Kerkyra/corfu

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 501 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 - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

The compensation for flight DUB-CFU is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aer Lingus sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dublin Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kerkyra/corfu.
• 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

If your Aer Lingus flight from Dublin Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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 400 €, if the delay stretches at Dublin Airport airport, Aer Lingus is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Dublin Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Aer Lingus website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

On the DUB-CFU line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Aer Lingus's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Dublin - Kerkyra/corfu section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Aer Lingus should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Aer Lingus is often more striking.
