Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Kerkyra/corfu — Dublin

How to be compensated by Aer Lingus on the Kerkyra/corfu (CFU) - Dublin (DUB) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Aer Lingus did not respect its scheduled times for your Kerkyra/corfu - Dublin flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 501 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Kerkyra/corfu - Dublin is eligible?

The compensation for flight CFU-DUB is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Aer Lingus CFU-DUB flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Kerkyra/corfu.

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 Kerkyra/corfu 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.

A strike by weather services at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aer Lingus has no control.

What are your rights at Kerkyra/corfu airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport airport, Aer Lingus is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Ioannis Kapodistrias International 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?

Getting justice against carrier Aer Lingus requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

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?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Kerkyra/corfu to Dublin Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

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

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Aer Lingus will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
