Aer Lingus duplicate bookings: identify which reservation qualifies for refund

Compare both booking confirmations before requesting a refund: customer names and itinerary must be identical. Aer Lingus specifies that the last booking is refunded. Identify the later reservation clearly; the policy does not offer a choice to refund the earlier booking instead.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    Use the duplicate-booking refund form linked from the cancellation policy. The published request window is 24 hours, but that paragraph leaves the starting event unstated. Request promptly and ask Aer Lingus to confirm timing rather than calculating a deadline from an assumed anchor.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    If an agent or another airline sold the tickets, approach that seller for cancellation or refund. A repeated payment entry alone does not establish the required match between two bookings.
