Flight compensation TAP Portugal:
La Coruna — Lisbon

How to be compensated by TAP Portugal on the La Coruna (LCG) - Lisbon (LIS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TAP Portugal did not respect its scheduled times for your La Coruna - Lisbon 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 507 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 La Coruna - Lisbon is eligible?

For an TAP Portugal flight from La Coruna to Lisbon, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TAP Portugal sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at La Coruna, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

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

If your TAP Portugal flight from La Coruna was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at La Coruna airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

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