Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Departure airport: Tartu Airport (TAY)
  • Arrival airport: Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)
  • Flight distance: 244 km (~0h18)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Flybe is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Tartu Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Helsinki|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Flybe is responsible for|the fault lies with} Flybe.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Flybe for the Tartu→Helsinki flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Helsinki.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tartu airport.

The battle to recover 250€ from Flybe starts with sending a formal complaint. {Without a response within 6 weeks|If Flybe doesn't reply}, court action is the next step.

By entrusting your TAY-HEL case to our experts, you benefit from the "no result, no charge" principle (you only pay if you win).

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The paradox: the longer Flybe delays paying your 250€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 250€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a dead end or getting a template rejection is sadly the lot of many passengers who claim alone for the Tartu - Helsinki route.

The win rate of expert platforms against Flybe reaches 95-98% when the case is well-founded. This demonstrates the power of EU law against airline stalling tactics.
