Flight compensation TAP Portugal:
Lisbon — Campinas

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

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 7 928 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Lisbon Portela Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by TAP Portugal's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Lisbon, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for TAP Portugal.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Lisbon Portela Airport airport, TAP Portugal is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Lisbon Portela Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from TAP Portugal?

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

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual TAP Portugal flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Lisbon to Viracopos International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against TAP Portugal on your smartphone.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company TAP Portugal will always prefer to compromise and pay the 600 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
