T.J. Air passengers Gustavia-Antigua: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Gustaf III Airport to V.C. Bird International Airport flown by T.J. Air was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

With 140 km between Gustaf III Airport and V.C. Bird International Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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.
