Flight compensation Travel Service:
Palma de Mallorca — Prague

Legal right to compensation: Travel Service flight between Palma de Mallorca and Prague

If your trip departing from Palma De Mallorca Airport and arriving at Ruzyn? International Airport operated by Travel Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 480 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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 Travel Service.

How to know if the flight Travel Service Palma de Mallorca - Prague is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Travel Service offers you a voucher for your Palma de Mallorca - Prague flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 480 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Palma de Mallorca airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Travel Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Travel Service compensation

A work stoppage of Travel Service crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Travel Service is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Travel Service?

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 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Palma de Mallorca to Ruzyn? International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Travel Service flight from Palma de Mallorca can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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