Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Stockholm

Full breakdown: Aer Lingus claim Dublin → Stockholm

The flight DUB → ARN by Aer Lingus suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Seize this entitlement: the Aer Lingus flight Dublin → Stockholm (1 625 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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 is not a goodwill gesture from Aer Lingus, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Stockholm is eligible?

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Stockholm|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Aer Lingus is responsible for|the fault lies with} Aer Lingus.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 400€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

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

Don't be misled by Aer Lingus's vague terms: a "wildcat" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Aer Lingus. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Dublin→Stockholm flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Aer Lingus is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Dublin Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Aer Lingus.
