I just read where DELLAS posted that JFK-SNN-JFK passengers may be accommodated on same day JFK-DUB-JKF flights - I don't know if that is simply an option or if that will be in lieu of a refund offer. Aer Lingus should mention that in their offer as it makes it far more attractive than other airlines who have much shorter time frames. Thank you ROKNA, knowing the vouchers are good for five years is a HUGE help. Paragraph 1(a) shall also apply to passengers whose flights form part of a package, except for the right to reimbursement where such right arises under Directive 90/314/EEC. (c) re-routing, under comparable transport conditions, to their final destination at a later date at the passenger's convenience, subject to availability of seats.Ģ. (b) re-routing, under comparable transport conditions, to their final destination at the earliest opportunity or a return flight to the first point of departure, at the earliest opportunity (a) - reimbursement within seven days, by the means provided for in Article 7(3), of the full cost of the ticket at the price at which it was bought, for the part or parts of the journey not made, and for the part or parts already made if the flight is no longer serving any purpose in relation to the passenger's original travel plan, together with, when relevant, Where reference is made to this Article, passengers shall be offered the choice between: PLEASE NOTE THAT IF A FLIGHT IS CANCELLED UNDER EU 261 YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUNDġ. Some airlines are communicating cancelled flights with only the options of a voucher or a date change. Although keep an eye on it as some reports of airlines deliberately not cancelling in the systems even though flight does not go to try avoid EU 261 !! Wait until it gets cancelled which it will be. (apologies if this should be in its own thread) If they try to make us take a flight to Dublin, does anyone know if the voucher has an expiration date? Thank you in advance for any information or advice. Do any of you have any knowledge of what is happening to this flight each night? Are they refunding the passengers or forcing them to accept a flight to Dublin or other? We don't want to fly at the height of a pandemic nor do we fly that often so there's a good chance we won't have a chance to fly to Ireland for a long time (or anywhere else Aer Lingus flies) so the voucher is not as attractive as a refund. If you go to the Aer Lingus website it shows no record of this flight for the three current days and if you look to book this flight in the coming weeks, it says "sold out". What we are seeing since last Wednesday is that this daily flight has not flown but it is not shown as cancelled on any of the flight tracker sites we've seen. Like many others we are waiting for a decision whether they will cancel our flight. We have a flight from JFK to SNN (EI110) scheduled for two weeks from now (we booked it in December long before any virus was in the news). Issued in the currency of the point of origin, so if issued in USD, can only be used for flights sold in USD.If you mix and match voucher + cash the €9 per passenger per flight handling fee will reappear.Lead passenger name must match that on the voucher.Vouchers have no expiry (possibly 5 years, but normally 2099 is the indicated date).Cannot pay with a voucher and combine with pay with Avios.It may be possible to merge multiple vouchers (and this could save you money, see below).Voucher can be used to purchase multiple flights.€9 handling fee per passenger is not charged using vouchers.You are betting on EI surviving but you are making 10% + a further €9 per flight saving IF the voucher covers the total cost of the ticket, if there is any cash portion the €9 fee will be applied Its offering 10% on top of the total fare paid including taxesġ0% extra, but also when using a voucher EI does NOT change handling fees per passenger so you save a further €9 per flight per passenger Aer Lingus now starting to offer a voucher option for people who want to cancel ticket.
