Flight compensation TCX:
Palma de Mallorca — Manchester

Procedure: TCX flight compensation from Palma de Mallorca to Manchester

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Palma de Mallorca and Manchester with TCX? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 581 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TCX 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight TCX Palma de Mallorca - Manchester is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TCX sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Palma De Mallorca Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for TCX to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TCX compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Palma de Mallorca - Manchester trip is due to an internal strike within TCX, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, TCX is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca 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 Palma De Mallorca Airport, TCX must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Palma De Mallorca 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 Manchester Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the TCX website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from TCX. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against TCX on your smartphone.

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

Don't take TCX's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
