Get your TAP Portugal flight compensation for the route Bordeaux - Lisbon

From Bordeaux airport, your departure with TAP Portugal to Lisbon didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 968 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TAP Portugal to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight TAP Portugal Bordeaux - Lisbon is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lisbon Portela Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TAP Portugal owes you 250 €.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

The impact of a strike on your TAP Portugal compensation
