Flight compensation Germanwings:
Duesseldorf — Dublin

Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Duesseldorf to Dublin

Your claim for compensation for the Germanwings flight from Duesseldorf to Dublin deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Duesseldorf and Dublin (915 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Germanwings.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Germanwings is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Dusseldorf International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Duesseldorf - Dublin is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Duesseldorf 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 Duesseldorf, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Germanwings 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 Duesseldorf airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germanwings (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

Don't be fooled by Germanwings's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Dusseldorf International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Germanwings has no control.

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

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Duesseldorf remains valid. The hotel is due if Germanwings offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Germanwings?

Starting a procedure against Germanwings for a flight from Duesseldorf to Dublin can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Duesseldorf to Dublin Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Germanwings flight from Duesseldorf can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Duesseldorf - Dublin line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Germanwings will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
