Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Villafranca

Aer Lingus passengers Dublin-Villafranca: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Aer Lingus from Dublin to Villafranca and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Aer Lingus flight Dublin - Villafranca (1 523 km) qualifies you for 400€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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 by no means a commercial courtesy from Aer Lingus, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Villafranca|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.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Dublin, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

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

The EU Court of Justice has clearly stated: internal industrial action do not constitute extraordinary circumstances for airlines. This ruling is binding across the entire EU.

Even if the 400€ are not owed due to an external strike at Dublin, care (food/accommodation) remains owed Aer Lingus. Keep this in mind.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 400€ question, if the delay extends at Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus must distribute meal vouchers.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Dublin still applies. The hotel must be provided if Aer Lingus delays your flight overnight.
