Aer Lingus Orlando problems
Flight EI 120 was cancelled on Sat 14th as indicated by various monitoring agencies including Aer Lingus.
The flight replacing it on Sunday 15th was EI 1120 that was also cancelled.
This flight was replaced on Monday 16th by EI 2120.
Note three different flight numbers.
The EU directive EC 261/2004 is clear on how compensation is calculated.
In summary it is dependent on distance and it must be a flight by an EU airline when originating outside the EU.
If the flight is originating from an EU airport it applies to ALL airlines regardless of their home base.
The Aer Lingus flight originating in Orlando met all criteria for maximum compensation including route distance.

Just concentrate on the flight on the 14th. The 15th and 16th are irrelevant. A simple letter detailing the flight details and the fact that it was cancelled should be enough. The EU rules are pretty clear, and the "extraordinary circumstances" excuse is now a lot less easy to use by airlines.

Aer Lingus delayed/cancelled flight claim
Thanks for the various comments and in particular the help provided by 'wolverhampton'.
AL have already offered a travel voucher for €250.
TG for the EU directive EC 261/2004!
It should make it much easier and quicker to process the claim.
I will let you know how it goes.

There were several landmark court cases in the UK recently where delays arising from technical faults were found to not be extraordinary circumstances
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huzar_v_Jet2.com
It's not entirely black and white however, some issues can be considered extraordinary, the failure of essential flight controls before departure being one of them, or damage caused by a foreign object. Of course in this case we don't know what the issue was.
There are many flight delay solicitors out there who operate on a no-win-no-fee basis who would be happy to help I'm sure. EI may try and bluff if you deal with them directly but their evidence has to be able to stand up in court.

ORD - 15.45 ~ 16.00
JFK - 16.00 ~ 16.15
BOS - 16.15 ~ 16.30

Pedant hat on.....I think the Iberia 320s came with 3 less seats from memory so to be strictly correct in answering your question then yes. But after a while the additional row was put in to ensure fleet conformity.

EI 2015 operating profit of 124 million, up from 52 million and I remember last year they said it would only be towards end of 2015 before the reducted oil would impaxt so 2016 should be a good year.

Trouble at Belfast City!
Heard from a very reliable source today that EI are downsizing the operation at BHD. They are cutting all of the summer routes from October, and this winter will see 1x320 based there, operating only LHR. They are scaling the operation back and preparing to close the base.
The pilot base is being closed from October and the flights will be operated by Dublin crew, the cabin crew base will close in March 2017 and it is still being decided at the minute whether the LHR flights will continue with Dublin based crew and aircraft.
Its a sad time and staff will be briefed very shortly on the options available to them.

Sadly it's not a case of it it does happen, it's when it happens. It's been on the cards for a long time and IAG have accelerated it now. Belfast is haemorrhaging money and they want to stop this and use the aircraft more profitably.
Press has started to get leaks now.....
More will follow....

The summer routes close every October. Quite possibly land up with only seasonal based crew with year round operated by DUB. It might not pay having a crew base for 1 aircraft.
