Flight compensation British Airways:
Dublin — New York

Get your British Airways flight compensation for the route Dublin - New York

From Dublin Airport airport, your departure with British Airways to New York didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 5 103 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires British Airways 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight British Airways Dublin - New York is eligible?

The compensation for flight DUB-JFK is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If British Airways sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dublin Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for British Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at New York.
• 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 British Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your British Airways compensation

A work stoppage of British Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, British Airways is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. British Airways must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Dublin.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Dublin Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from British Airways?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at John F Kennedy International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
