How can I cancel a flight with Aer Lingus?

First identify the route region, fare family and original seller. Aer Lingus publishes different cash, voucher and tax-only outcomes for European and transatlantic fares, and its direct refund form can cancel the identified booking and may not allow reinstatement, so review every traveler and segment before submitting.

What to do next

  1. Step 1

    Confirm whether the booking was made directly with Aer Lingus or through an agent, tour operator, package provider or another airline.

  2. Step 2

    Use the cancellation policy to match Europe or transatlantic travel and the exact fare family.

  3. Step 3

    Check whether the available result is cash, a voucher, refundable taxes only or no ordinary voluntary refund.

  4. Step 4

    Review traveler and segment scope before opening the final submission step; special products and companion, reward, corporate or group bookings can require another path.

  5. Step 5

    Submit the correct direct-booking form only after accepting that the identified booking will be cancelled, then retain the confirmation.
