Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Palma de Mallorca

Claim and compensation for flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Palma de Mallorca

If your trip departing from Dublin Airport and arriving at Palma De Mallorca Airport operated by Aer Lingus was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 686 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aer Lingus.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Palma de Mallorca. If Aer Lingus made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Palma De Mallorca Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 686 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palma de Mallorca.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Palma De Mallorca Airport, 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.

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?

If Dublin Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aer Lingus, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Dublin Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

For your Dublin - Palma de Mallorca trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Aer Lingus staff at the Dublin Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

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

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Aer Lingus systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Aer Lingus is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Aer Lingus without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Dublin.
