Get your TOM flight compensation for the route Palma de Mallorca - London

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 309 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 1 309 km (~1h38)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 - London is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TOM sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Palma De Mallorca Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for TOM to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Palma de Mallorca, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 - London flight.

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, TOM must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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 Palma De Mallorca Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from TOM?

The amicable route with TOM to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

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

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

On the PMI-LGW line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of TOM's legal department.

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 TOM 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 Palma De Mallorca Airport airport to prove their faults.
