Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Milan — Dublin

Claim and compensation for flight Aer Lingus Milan - Dublin

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

Given the route between Milan and Dublin (1 427 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aer Lingus.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aer Lingus.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aer Lingus offers you a voucher for your Milan - Dublin flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 427 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 Milan 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 Milan - 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 Milan airport in case of prolonged wait?

Your forced stay at Milan shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your LIN-DUB trip.

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