Flight compensation TAP Portugal:
Lisbon — Munich

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

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 984 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TAP Portugal to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Munich International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TAP Portugal owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TAP Portugal sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Lisbon Portela Airport, the 400 € 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 Munich.
• 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 of TAP Portugal crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Lisbon Portela Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which TAP Portugal has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Lisbon Portela Airport, TAP Portugal must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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.
