Flight compensation TAP Portugal:

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

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 8 400 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TAP Portugal to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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.
