Oh this is exactly what I didn't want to hear! If my initial flight is delayed and the staff say connections will be fine I think I will be insisting on that in writing! Have a good time OP

Have a great holiday. You will have to update us all later regarding the compensation and let us know how the rest of your holiday goes

Yes have a great holiday.

This is the form to fill in on AerLingus to make your claim. The issue is EU261

aerlingus/support/fo...ravel-enquiry/

It only shows 1 flight number but if you click the + next to the flight line it will add another one so you can put in both flight numbers for yesterday (Man-Dub, Dub-Mco) then in comments add missed connection due to late flight departure from Manchester and 24 hours late arriving at final ticketed destination (MCO).

Have a great time
Virgin got back to me today (claim put in on Monday). Plane was 4 hours and 1 min late. They have agreed compensation and it will take 10 days to get to my account.
It was really simple just remember to put your claim in and also watch your emails because after they confirm you only have 21 days or the offer will expire.

Sorry you’ve had this experience, and hope you have a great trip.

I just wanted to add that we were delayed last August inbound from MCO-DUB-LHR. The plane had no crew (!). Although some time was made up we missed our onward connection and arrived at LHR just shy of 4 hours late.
No mention was made of compensation but we did get meal vouchers at Dublin, and as pp have said AL were very efficient at rebooking the connecting flight.

When we got home I screenshot flightradar and made sure I had all the boarding cards. Then submitted my claim using the Resolver service via MSE. A couple of weeks later received a cheque for €600 pp. A good result for us, but it didn’t impact on our holiday.

I think travelling via DUB is a good option, but worth considering how many flights are scheduled to your destination. AL fly once a day to MCO (and not even everyday), so generous connections are needed. On the other hand there are plenty of New York options so shorter connections are less risky. Same for inbound - we use LHR and it’s like a bus service, but regional airports are less well-served.
