How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Nice is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Nice. If Aer Lingus made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Nice, your claim is legitimate.

The impact of a strike on your Aer Lingus compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Nice, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Dublin - Nice flight.
