Respuesta rápida
New York to Dublin 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 — but only on EU/UK/Swiss-licensed airlines such as Aer Lingus, because the flight departs outside Europe. Delays of three to four hours pay half. The airline can only refuse by proving extraordinary circumstances; the return direction has its own rules.

Retraso, cancelación o conexión perdida en este sentido
- Retrasado
- Corresponden 600 € por pasajero cuando al menos una puerta se abre en Dublin Airport tres horas o más después de la llegada prevista; el retraso en la salida desde John F. Kennedy International 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 Dublin 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 John F. Kennedy International 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.

Direct answer
- Short answer
- Yes on Aer Lingus: a flight from New York to Dublin delayed 3+ hours, cancelled at short notice or overbooked can be worth 600 € per passenger — because those airlines are European-licensed.
- Amount
- 600 €600 € por pasajero · 5103 km
- Why
- The distance is 5103 km (Más de 3.500 km) and the flight falls under Reglamento (CE) 261/2004 (Los vuelos hacia Dublin Airport desde fuera de la UE/EEE solo están cubiertos si los opera una aerolínea con licencia UE/EEE.); the fixed amount depends only on the distance band.
- What can change it
- The airline proves extraordinary circumstances (weather, ATC, security) that it could not avoid.
- Arrival delay under 3 hours at the final destination.
- Cancellation announced 14+ days ahead, or re-routing within the legal windows.
- Delay between 3 and 4 hours on this long-haul route halves the amount.
- The flight was operated by a non-European airline (check the boarding pass).

Which rules apply on this direction
Flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) depart outside Europe. Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) still applies on arrival at Dublin Airport (DUB) — but only when the operating airline is licensed in the EU/EEA. The distance is 5,103 km (over 3,500 km), so a covered flight pays €600 per passenger.
On a covered airline, care starts earlier than compensation on this long-distance flight: after 4 hours of delay at John F. Kennedy International Airport the airline owes meals and communication, and after 5 hours you may abandon the trip and demand a refund of the unused ticket.
Only the Aer Lingus-operated flight from New York is covered by EU261.

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 New York to Dublin covered by EU Regulation 261/2004?
Only on some airlines: the flight arrives in a covered country from outside it, so EU Regulation 261/2004 applies when the operating carrier is licensed there. Of the airlines that fly this route, Aer Lingus is covered. Delta Air Lines, American Airlines are not, in this direction. The operating carrier on the boarding pass decides it, not the airline you booked with.
How much compensation for a delayed or cancelled New York to Dublin 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 New York to Dublin flight?
Reply once in writing asking for the facts behind the refusal, then escalate outside the airline. Aer Lingus: 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 Dublin to New York?
Not entirely. On the return flight the regime is the same, and every airline is covered. Each direction is judged on its own departure.
