Flight compensation TUIfly:
Arrecife — Frankfurt

Refund and compensation TUIfly: route Arrecife to Frankfurt

Your claim for compensation for the TUIfly flight from Arrecife to Frankfurt deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 996 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.

Did you know? Even if TUIfly is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Lanzarote Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight TUIfly Arrecife - Frankfurt is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 2 996 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 TUIfly to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TUIfly staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Arrecife - Frankfurt flight.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Lanzarote Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Arrecife shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ACE-FRA trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

It is strongly recommended to keep your TUIfly boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Lanzarote 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 TUIfly to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

The first refusal from TUIfly should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with TUIfly without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Arrecife.
