Reply To: Short-notice cancellation and claim to EI

[SamG]

My understanding is certainly on the UK side the CAA considers a same day reroute satisfactory. So I’d say you’d have been OK to travel, claim expenses to get to Belfast and then maybe compensation depending on your arrival time and the cancellation reason

Unfortunately needing to travel earlier and therefore making your own arrangement has probably been dealt with by Aer Lingus/Emerald correctly and as you didn’t fly with them no further compensation would be due
