Get your Iberia Airlines flight compensation for the route Tenerife - Sevilla

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Iberia Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Tenerife - Sevilla flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 390 km of flight, the company Iberia Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: Sevilla Airport (SVQ)
  • Flight distance: 1 390 km (~1h44)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
