Flight compensation TOM:
Palma de Mallorca — Birmingham

How to be compensated by TOM on the Palma de Mallorca (PMI) - Birmingham (BHX) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TOM did not respect its scheduled times for your Palma de Mallorca - Birmingham flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 475 km of flight, the company TOM 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.

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.

How to know if the flight TOM Palma de Mallorca - Birmingham is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Birmingham International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TOM owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TOM PMI-BHX flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Palma de Mallorca.

What are the conditions for TOM to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Birmingham.
• 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 TOM (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your TOM compensation

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Palma de Mallorca - Birmingham flight.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport, TOM 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 Palma De Mallorca Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
