Get your TAP Portugal flight compensation for the route Lisbon - Marrakech
From Lisbon Portela Airport airport, your departure with TAP Portugal to Marrakech didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 804 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)
- Arrival airport: Menara Airport (RAK)
- Flight distance: 804 km (~1h00)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Lisbon - Marrakech is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Menara Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TAP Portugal owes you 250 €.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Lisbon Portela Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marrakech.
-
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...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Lisbon, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your TAP Portugal compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TAP Portugal staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Lisbon - Marrakech flight.
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 250 €, if the delay stretches at Lisbon Portela Airport airport, TAP Portugal is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Lisbon Portela Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

The amicable route with TAP Portugal to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of TAP Portugal.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
On the LIS-RAK line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of TAP Portugal's legal department.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Lisbon - Marrakech section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from TAP Portugal should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
