Flight compensation TOM:
Rhodos — London

Claim up to 400€ for TOM flight Rhodos - London

Your compensation claim for the TOM flight from Rhodos to London is likely valid. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

Departing from Diagoras Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 2 772 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.

This key legislation of European aviation rights covers nearly a billion passengers every year. Yet, over 85% don't bother because they don't know their rights.

How to know if the flight TOM Rhodos - London is eligible?

Check your real landing time at London. If TOM delayed you over 3h at London Gatwick Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.

Even if TOM reroutes you, the 400€ compensation still applies if the arrival at London exceeds 3 hours.

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 Rhodos 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 by TOM's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to airport staff, TOM is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Here is what TOM owes you during a prolonged wait at Diagoras Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from TOM. It is a binding duty that can be sanctioned.
