Claim up to 400€ for Aer Lingus flight Malaga - Shannon

Denied boarding on Aer Lingus Malaga - Shannon entitles you to up to 400€. Find out if you're eligible.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Aer Lingus fails its obligations on the 1 815 km route from Malaga to Shannon.

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 cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Malaga - Shannon is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Eurocontrol data will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Shannon Airport.

Even if Aer Lingus offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Shannon is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Shannon.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malaga 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

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Malaga - Shannon delay was caused by an staff strike at Aer Lingus, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to airport staff, Aer Lingus is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Here is what Aer Lingus owes you if your flight is delayed at Malaga: refreshments and food adapted to waiting time, two free communications, and a hotel night if the flight is pushed to the next day.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Aer Lingus. It is a legal obligation enforceable in court.
