Were you offered a voucher for your cancelled flight from Dublin? Here’s what you should do.

In some cases, airlines may offer you a voucher or other form of compensation instead of a ticket refund or alternative flight. While this may seem like a good deal, we advise you not to accept vouchers due to a few reasons.

• Vouchers are often subject to restrictions and limitations, such as expiry dates, blackout dates, or limited availability. This may make it difficult for you to use the voucher or may limit their options for alternative flights.

• Vouchers may not provide you with the same level of financial protection as a ticket refund. If the airline were to go bankrupt or cease operations, you may not be able to recover your losses.

It's important for you to carefully consider any offers made by the airline and to seek advice from a legal expert if you’re unsure about your rights. Flight-Delayed.co.uk can provide guidance and assistance for you if your Dublin flights have been cancelled.

Flying with a EU carrier	Amsterdam to London with KLM	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK	London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK	Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines	No

Extraordinary Circumstances disrupted my Dublin flight - can my  the airline really deny my claim?

In some cases, airlines may deny compensation claims if the delay or cancellation was caused by “extraordinary circumstances”.

Examples of such circumstances are listed as follows:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
