Refund and compensation TOM: route Palma de Mallorca to Bristol

If your trip departing from Palma De Mallorca Airport and arriving at Bristol International Airport operated by TOM was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Palma de Mallorca and Bristol (1 382 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by TOM.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like TOM.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if TOM offers you a voucher for your Palma de Mallorca - Bristol flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Palma de Mallorca, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for TOM 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 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Palma de Mallorca - Bristol trip is due to an internal strike within TOM, 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, TOM is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
