Flight compensation TAP Portugal:
Faro — Munich

Refund and compensation TAP Portugal: route Faro to Munich

The FAO - MUC route operated by TAP Portugal experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Faro and Munich (2 038 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by TAP Portugal.

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.

Did you know? Even if TAP Portugal is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Faro Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight TAP Portugal Faro - Munich is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Munich. If TAP Portugal made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Munich International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munich.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Faro 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Munich International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Faro Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

If Faro Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of TAP Portugal, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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

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

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

An unfounded refusal from TAP Portugal is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with TAP Portugal without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Faro.
