Claim and compensation for flight TAP Portugal Munich - Faro

If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Faro Airport operated by TAP Portugal was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Munich International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 038 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Check your actual arrival time at Faro. If TAP Portugal made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Faro Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to TAP Portugal (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
