Flight compensation Aer Lingus:
Warsaw — Dublin

Aer Lingus passengers Warsaw-Dublin: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Aer Lingus from Warsaw to Dublin and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Warsaw and Dublin (1 825 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Aer Lingus. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aer Lingus offers you a travel credit for your Warsaw → Dublin flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Aer Lingus for the Warsaw→Dublin flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.
