Flight compensation TAP Portugal:
Amsterdam — Abu Dhabi

Get your TAP Portugal flight compensation for the route Amsterdam - Abu Dhabi

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TAP Portugal did not respect its scheduled times for your Amsterdam - Abu Dhabi flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 5 192 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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.

How to know if the flight TAP Portugal Amsterdam - Abu Dhabi is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Abu Dhabi International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TAP Portugal owes you 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TAP Portugal AMS-AUH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Amsterdam.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TAP Portugal compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Amsterdam - Abu Dhabi trip is due to an internal strike within TAP Portugal, 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, TAP Portugal is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. TAP Portugal must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Amsterdam.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol terminal is also included in the legal package due by TAP Portugal.

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Abu Dhabi International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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