Where do I claim from Aer Lingus?

Through Aer Lingus’ requests page (choose "Claim compensation"). Aer Lingus’ requests and enquiries page has a “Claim compensation” form for delayed and cancelled flights.

What if Aer Lingus refuses?

Ask for the cause and the evidence it couldn’t be avoided. If it still says no, give it eight weeks or its final answer, then take it to the dispute scheme it belongs to, or the CAA if it belongs to none, then the small claims court.
