Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Gran Canaria — Dublin

Legal right to compensation: Aer Lingus flight between Gran Canaria and Dublin

The LPA - DUB route operated by Aer Lingus experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 931 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 commercial 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 Gran Canaria - Dublin is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aer Lingus offers you a voucher for your Gran Canaria - Dublin flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Gran Canaria, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• 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 Gran Canaria 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Dublin Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

If Gran Canaria Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aer Lingus, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Gran Canaria Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
