Flight compensation TOM:
Preveza — London

Refund and compensation TOM: route Preveza to London

The PVK - LGW route operated by TOM experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 122 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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 Preveza - London is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if TOM offers you a voucher for your Preveza - London flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 122 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Preveza airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to TOM (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your TOM compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to London Gatwick Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Aktion National Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Preveza remains valid. The hotel is due if TOM offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TOM?

It is strongly recommended to keep your TOM boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Aktion National Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like TOM to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Preveza - London section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by TOM is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Aktion National Airport airport to prove their faults.
