Flight compensation Finnair:
New York — Dublin

Claim and compensation for flight Finnair New York - Dublin

The JFK - DUB route operated by Finnair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between New York and Dublin (5 103 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Finnair.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Finnair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between New York and Dublin entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from New York, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Finnair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Finnair compensation

If your Finnair flight from John F Kennedy International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Finnair for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at New York shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your JFK-DUB trip.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Finnair?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Finnair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at John F Kennedy International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Finnair to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the New York - Dublin section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Finnair should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from John F Kennedy International Airport airport to prove their faults.
