Is a flight from Dublin covered?
Yes. Dublin is in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, so the regulation applies to every flight departing from it — whichever airline operates it.
What you can claim
The amount is set by the distance of the flight, not the price of the ticket. From Dublin, that usually means:
| Destination | Distance | Band |
|---|---|---|
| London (LHR) | 450 km | €250 |
| Amsterdam (AMS) | 750 km | €250 |
| Paris (CDG) | 785 km | €250 |
| Frankfurt (FRA) | 1,086 km | €250 |
| Barcelona (BCN) | 1,485 km | €250 |
| New York (JFK) | 5,103 km | €600 |
What to do at Dublin
- Ask the airline to confirm the reason for the delay or cancellation in writing.
- Keep your boarding passes, tickets and every receipt — for meals, taxis and hotels you had to arrange yourself.
- Insist on the care you are entitled to: meals and drinks in proportion to the wait, two free communications, and accommodation if you are stranded overnight.
- Do not accept a voucher where you are entitled to a cash refund.
How we enforce it
Flightright assesses the claim, corresponds with the airline and — where it refuses — takes the case to court at our own risk. There is nothing to pay unless the claim succeeds.
