Get your US Airways flight compensation for the route Dublin - Philadelphia

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Dublin and Philadelphia with US Airways? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 5 253 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
  • Flight distance: 5 253 km (~6h34)
  • 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 US Airways Dublin - Philadelphia is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If US 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 US Airways to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Philadelphia.
  • 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 US Airways (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.
