  • Flight distance: 2 945 km (~3h41)

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

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Aer Lingus compensation

The principle is clear: if Aer Lingus's staff stop work, it is a risk that {the airline|Aer Lingus} should have anticipated. Therefore, {your compensation|the 400€} remains owed.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Aer Lingus is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Tenerife South Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Tenerife still applies. The hotel must be provided if Aer Lingus delays your flight overnight.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aer Lingus?

Obtaining 400€ has never been easier thanks to integration between recovery services and Aer Lingus's systems.

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