Flight compensation Turkish Airlines:
Dublin — Istanbul

How to be compensated by Turkish Airlines on the Dublin (DUB) - Istanbul (IST) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Turkish Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Dublin - Istanbul flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 924 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Turkish Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Turkish Airlines Dublin - Istanbul is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Turkish Airlines DUB-IST flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dublin.

What are the conditions for Turkish Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Istanbul.
• 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 Turkish Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Turkish Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Turkish Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Dublin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Turkish Airlines.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Dublin Airport airport, Turkish Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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.

The amicable route with Turkish Airlines to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
