By taking off from Palma De Mallorca Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 686 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Dublin Airport (DUB)
  • Flight distance: 1 686 km (~2h06)

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aer Lingus (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Palma de Mallorca, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aer Lingus 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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
