Claim your compensation for TAP Portugal Lisbon - Faro

A cancellation on TAP Portugal Lisbon - Faro entitles you to up to 250€. Find out if you're eligible.

Departing from Lisbon Portela Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 222 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

This key legislation of European aviation rights covers nearly a billion passengers every year. Yet, over 85% don't bother because they don't know their rights.

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

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Eurocontrol data will confirm the exact time of door opening at Faro Airport.

Even if TAP Portugal reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Faro exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Faro.
• 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

A work stoppage by TAP Portugal's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to ground services, TAP Portugal is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 250€ question, if the delay extends at Lisbon Portela Airport, TAP Portugal must distribute meal vouchers.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from TAP Portugal. It is a regulatory requirement enforceable in court.
