Flight compensation TOM:
Paphos — East Midlands

How to be compensated by TOM on the Paphos (PFO) - East Midlands (EMA) line

From Paphos International Airport airport, your departure with TOM to East Midlands didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 331 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TOM 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.

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 Paphos - East Midlands is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at East Midlands Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TOM owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TOM PFO-EMA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Paphos.

What are the conditions for TOM to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TOM compensation

A work stoppage of TOM crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Paphos, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for TOM.

What are your rights at Paphos 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 Paphos International 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 Paphos International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
