Your payout case for the Aer Lingus flight from Frankfurt to Dublin is likely valid. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

Leaving Frankfurt am Main International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 087 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
