File your refund for Iberia Airlines Tenerife → Paris

Your payout case for the Iberia Airlines flight from Tenerife to Paris has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

Leaving Tenerife Norte Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 2 761 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Tenerife Norte Airport (TFN)
  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 2 761 km (~3h27)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
