Refund and compensation Jet2.com: route Tenerife to Belfast

If your trip departing from Tenerife South Airport and arriving at Belfast International Airport operated by Jet2.com was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Tenerife and Belfast (3 075 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Jet2.com.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Jet2.com, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Jet2.com Tenerife - Belfast is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Jet2.com offers you a voucher for your Tenerife - Belfast flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 3 075 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Jet2.com to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Belfast.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tenerife airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Jet2.com (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Jet2.com compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Tenerife - Belfast trip is due to an internal strike within Jet2.com, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Jet2.com is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Tenerife airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Tenerife South Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Tenerife remains valid. The hotel is due if Jet2.com offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Jet2.com?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Jet2.com boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Tenerife South Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Jet2.com. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Jet2.com flight from Tenerife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
