Aer Lingus is Ireland's national airline and a full-service carrier operating from its Dublin hub, connecting Ireland to destinations across Europe, North America, and beyond. Its fleet of 62 aircraft — including Airbus A320s, A320 NEOs, A321 NEOs, A330-200s, and A330-300s — has an average age of 12.4 years. Aer Lingus passengers benefit from strong protections under EU regulation EC 261/2004 for flights departing from EU airports. Whether you experienced a delay of more than 3 hours, a short-notice cancellation, or denied boarding on an Aer Lingus flight, you may be entitled to claim compensation of up to €600. Transatlantic flights departing the EU also fall under EC 261/2004. EU Regulation EC 261/2004 entitles you to fixed compensation — regardless of what the airline tells you.
When can you claim?
If your Aer Lingus flight arrived 3+ hours late — regardless of stated reason — you may be entitled to up to €600.
Cancellations announced less than 14 days before departure trigger the same fixed compensation amounts.
If Aer Lingus bumped you due to a full flight, you're entitled to compensation plus a full refund or rerouting.
In most EU countries, you can claim compensation retroactively for disrupted flights up to 6 years ago.
