Refund and compensation Aer Lingus: route Duesseldorf to Dublin
If your trip departing from Dusseldorf International Airport and arriving at Dublin Airport operated by Aer Lingus was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 915 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
- Arrival airport: Dublin Airport (DUB)
- Flight distance: 915 km (~1h09)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Did you know? Even if Aer Lingus is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Dusseldorf International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Duesseldorf - Dublin is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Duesseldorf and Dublin entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
Also note that the distance of 915 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dublin.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Duesseldorf airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aer Lingus (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Duesseldorf, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
