Flight compensation TCX:
Gran Canaria — Bristol

How to be compensated by TCX on the Gran Canaria (LPA) - Bristol (BRS) line

From Gran Canaria Airport airport, your departure with TCX to Bristol didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 815 km of flight, the company TCX is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight TCX Gran Canaria - Bristol is eligible?

The compensation for flight LPA-BRS is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Gran Canaria Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for TCX to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bristol.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gran Canaria airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to TCX (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your TCX compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TCX staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Gran Canaria Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Gran Canaria Airport airport, TCX is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Gran Canaria Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TCX?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Bristol International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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 TCX.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with TCX customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from TCX should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Gran Canaria Airport airport to prove their faults.
