Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Dublin — Warsaw

How to be compensated by Aer Lingus on the Dublin (DUB) - Warsaw (WAW) line

From Dublin Airport airport, your departure with Aer Lingus to Warsaw didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 825 km of flight, the company Aer Lingus is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Warsaw Chopin Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aer Lingus owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dublin Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Warsaw.
• 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 fooled by Aer Lingus's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Aer Lingus is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Aer Lingus must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Dublin.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Dublin Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

The amicable route with Aer Lingus to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Aer Lingus.

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

Airlines like Aer Lingus sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Aer Lingus's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aer Lingus convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
