How to be compensated by Delta Air Lines on the Dublin (DUB) - Atlanta (ATL) line
From Dublin Airport airport, your departure with Delta Air Lines to Atlanta didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 6 323 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Delta Air Lines 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Dublin Airport (DUB)
- Arrival airport: Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Flight distance: 6 323 km (~7h54)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
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 Delta Air Lines Dublin - Atlanta is eligible?
For an Delta Air Lines flight from Dublin to Atlanta, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Delta Air Lines DUB-ATL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dublin.
What are the conditions for Delta Air Lines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Atlanta.
-
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 Delta Air Lines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Dublin, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Delta Air Lines compensation
Don't be fooled by Delta Air Lines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Delta Air Lines 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?
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, Delta Air Lines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
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.
