What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
  • 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

Don't be misled by Aer Lingus's vague terms: a unannounced or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Dublin, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Aer Lingus. Never forget this.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking coupons from Aer Lingus. If you advance costs, save your invoices diligently.

Many passengers don't know that transport between the hotel and the airport of Dublin Airport is also covered in the mandatory care required of Aer Lingus.

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

Getting justice against Aer Lingus requires persistence. No response or standardised rejections are the norm with airlines.

Skip the complex forms on Aer Lingus's website. Use a passenger defence portal to lock in your 250€ payout. Even for a short flight, expert support makes a difference.

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

Patience is often key. Airlines receive a huge volume of claims every week and your Dublin to Malpensa International Airport case can stall if you remain passive.

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.
