Flight compensation Air Transat:
Dublin — Toronto

How to be compensated by Air Transat on the Dublin (DUB) - Toronto (YYZ) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Dublin and Toronto with Air Transat? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 5 261 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Transat to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Transat Dublin - Toronto is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lester B. Pearson International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Transat owes you 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dublin Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Air Transat to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Toronto.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dublin airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Transat (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Transat compensation

If your Air Transat flight from Dublin Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Dublin Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Dublin Airport, Air Transat must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Dublin Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air Transat.
