You travelled with Iberia Airlines from Madrid to Tenerife and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.
Don't miss this opportunity: the Iberia Airlines flight Madrid - Tenerife (1 823 km) qualifies you for 400€ per person under CE 261/2004.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?

- Arrival airport: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
- Flight distance: 1 823 km (~2h17)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This is not a goodwill gesture from Iberia Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
