Flight compensation Thai Airways International:

Get your Thai Airways International flight compensation for the route Madrid - Porto

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Thai Airways International did not respect its scheduled times for your Madrid - Porto flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 439 km of flight, the company Thai Airways International is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 Thai Airways International Madrid - Porto is eligible?

For an Thai Airways International flight from Madrid to Porto, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Thai Airways International to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Thai Airways International compensation

A work stoppage of Thai Airways International crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Madrid, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Thai Airways International.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Thai Airways International must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Madrid.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Madrid Barajas International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Thai Airways International website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
