Guide: compensation for TAP Portugal flight from Lisbon to Stockholm

Your TAP Portugal flight from Lisbon to Stockholm was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 2 998 km, TAP Portugal is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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 travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, TAP Portugal must pay you 400€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first TAP Portugal segment Lisbon-Stockholm causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for TAP Portugal to compensate you?

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

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

The reality is stark: on average, a passenger acting alone takes 4 to 8 months to obtain their 400€ from TAP Portugal. Via a specialist, the time falls to 1 to 2 months.
