Respuesta rápida
Dublin to New York is about 5,103 km, so compensation is €600 per passenger under Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) for delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations and denied boarding, on any airline. Delays of three to four hours pay half. The airline can only refuse by proving extraordinary circumstances; the return direction has its own rules.

Salida desde Dublin Airport
Dublin has US preclearance, so passengers for the United States pass American immigration before boarding and a late arrival at the terminal can end the journey before the aircraft is even late. Ireland allows six years to sue, the longest period in the EU, so an old Dublin departure is often still claimable.
Dublin is a base for both Aer Lingus and Ryanair; when the connection is on one booking the delay is measured at the final destination, and on separate tickets each flight stands alone.

Retraso, cancelación o conexión perdida en este sentido
- Retrasado
- Corresponden 600 € por pasajero cuando al menos una puerta se abre en John F. Kennedy International Airport tres horas o más después de la llegada prevista; el retraso en la salida desde Dublin Airport no cuenta. A partir de 4 horas de retraso la aerolínea debe comida y comunicación sea cual sea la causa, y a partir de 5 horas puede renunciar al viaje y pedir el reembolso. Con un retraso a la llegada de entre tres y cuatro horas el importe se reduce a la mitad, 300 €.
- Cancelado
- Los mismos 600 € por pasajero corresponden cuando la aerolínea le avisó con menos de 14 días de antelación y no le reubicó dentro de las ventanas legales (como máximo 2 horas antes y menos de 4 horas después con 7–14 días de aviso; 1 hora y 2 horas con menos de 7 días). El reembolso o transporte alternativo y la asistencia mientras espera se deben en todos los casos.
- Conexión perdida
- Si John F. Kennedy International Airport no es su destino final y ambos vuelos iban en una misma reserva, el retraso se mide donde termina el viaje y el importe según la distancia desde Dublin Airport hasta ese aeropuerto final (Folkerts, C-11/11), incluso si el vuelo de conexión está fuera de Europa. Con billetes separados cada vuelo se juzga por sí solo, y la conexión perdida no es responsabilidad de la primera aerolínea.

Which rules apply on this direction
Flights from Dublin Airport (DUB) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) depart Ireland, so Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) applies to every airline that operates the route. The great-circle distance is 5,103 km (over 3,500 km), which puts the fixed compensation at €600 per passenger for a delay of three hours or more at arrival, a cancellation announced less than 14 days ahead without a close replacement, or involuntary denied boarding.
For arrival delays between three and four hours on this long-haul route the amount is halved (€300).
Whatever the cause, care starts earlier than compensation on this long-distance flight: after 4 hours of delay at Dublin Airport the airline owes meals and communication, and after 5 hours you may abandon the trip and demand a refund of the unused ticket.

Return direction
The return, New York → Dublin, departs outside Europe: Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) only applies when the operating airline is licensed in the EU/EEA (€600 per passenger). Third-country carriers are outside the regime on that leg, although every one of them is covered on this one.
Where to escalate

Court claims in Ireland are subject to a limitation period of 6 years (Statute of Limitations 1957, s. 11 (six years, simple contract)).
A court claim goes to the Small Claims Court (District Court). Claims up to €2,000 online for a small fee.
About this route
Dublin–New York carries heavy transatlantic traffic and benefits from US pre-clearance at Dublin, which can add ground delay before departure. Aer Lingus returns from New York are covered by EU261 as an EU carrier; Delta and American returns are not. Outbound from Dublin every airline is covered and the Irish Aviation Authority handles complaints.
Preguntas frecuentes
Is a delayed or cancelled flight from Dublin to New York covered by EU Regulation 261/2004?
Yes, on any airline: the flight departs from Ireland, so EU Regulation 261/2004 applies whatever the carrier's nationality. Whether compensation is due then depends on the disruption — an arrival delay of three hours or more, a cancellation announced less than 14 days ahead, or denied boarding — and on the cause.
How much compensation for a delayed or cancelled Dublin to New York flight?
600 € per passenger for a 5,103 km flight, if the disruption qualifies and no extraordinary circumstance is proven. On an arrival delay between three and four hours the amount is halved to 300 €. It is the same for every fare and does not depend on the ticket price; a re-routing that gets you there within the Article 7(2) time limits can halve it.
What if the airline rejects my claim for a Dublin to New York flight?
Reply once in writing asking for the facts behind the refusal, then escalate outside the airline. Aer Lingus, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines: no ADR scheme on file for this country — complain to the enforcement body instead. The enforcement body is Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Court claims must be brought within the limitation period of Ireland: 6 years.
Do the same rules apply on the way back, from New York to Dublin?
Not entirely. On the return flight the regime is the same, and only airlines licensed in the arrival country are covered. Each direction is judged on its own departure.
