Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Hamburg — Dublin

Legal payout: Aer Lingus flight Hamburg → Dublin

Your Aer Lingus flight from Hamburg to Dublin was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 073 km, Aer Lingus is held to a payout requirement if boarding is denied.

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.

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Dublin Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Aer Lingus must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Aer Lingus segment Hamburg-Dublin causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

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 Hamburg airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aer Lingus (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
