The route PMI - ORK by Aer Lingus was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Aer Lingus flight Palma de Mallorca - Cork (1 617 km) qualifies you for 400€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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 is by no means a commercial courtesy from Aer Lingus, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cork.
