Get your Travel Service flight compensation for the route Funchal - Prague
From Madeira Airport airport, your departure with Travel Service to Prague didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 194 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Travel Service 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Madeira Airport (FNC)
- Arrival airport: Ruzyn? International Airport (PRG)
- Flight distance: 3 194 km (~3h60)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Travel Service Funchal - Prague is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Ruzyn? International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Travel Service owes you 400 €.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madeira Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.
What are the conditions for Travel Service to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Prague.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Funchal airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Travel Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Funchal, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Travel Service compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Travel Service staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Funchal 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 Madeira Airport, Travel Service must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Madeira Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Travel Service?
Getting justice against carrier Travel Service requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Travel Service.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Travel Service customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Funchal - Prague 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?
An unfounded refusal from Travel Service is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Travel Service is often more striking.
