Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Manchester — Dublin

Claim and compensation for flight Aer Lingus Manchester - Dublin

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

By taking off from Manchester Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 265 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Aer Lingus is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Manchester Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Dublin. If Aer Lingus made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Dublin Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 265 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Manchester 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 strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Manchester - Dublin trip is due to an internal strike within Aer Lingus, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Aer Lingus is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Manchester Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Aer Lingus sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Aer Lingus flight from Manchester 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 250 € 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 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
