  • Arrival airport: Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (CFU)
  • Flight distance: 2 501 km (~3h08)

This statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Kerkyra/corfu|time the doors open at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 400€}.

The indemnity also covers overbooking cases. If Aer Lingus overbooked the flight and you were left behind at Dublin Airport, the 400€ payout is owed by right.

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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Dublin, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aer Lingus compensation

Watch out for the classic trap: Aer Lingus may mention a "strike" without specifying whether it was an internal or external strike. This detail is decisive for your {case|right to 400€}.

Don't take at face value Aer Lingus's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 400€}.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

Don't hesitate to request this assistance at {the airline's|Aer Lingus's} counter. If refused and you advance costs for accommodation at Dublin Airport, save your invoices carefully for reimbursement.

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

In practice, the process is simple: you enter your flight details Dublin→Kerkyra/corfu, the system analyses your case, then handles everything until payment your 400€.

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

A common question is about processing times. A claim filed directly to Aer Lingus's customer service can take months, even half a year before you hear back.

The digital process of expert partners eliminates paperwork: upload documents, digital signature, and email notifications until payment.

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

Aer Lingus's use of complex legal jargon is often a tactic to push travellers to abandon their 400€. On medium-haul, airlines often refuse initially to filter claims.

For your 400€, don't settle with Aer Lingus without the advice of a professional who knows the full scope of your claim for Dublin→Kerkyra/corfu.
