Flight compensation TUIfly:
Dalaman — Frankfurt

How to be compensated by TUIfly on the Dalaman (DLM) - Frankfurt (FRA) line

From Dalaman International Airport airport, your departure with TUIfly to Frankfurt didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 193 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an TUIfly flight from Dalaman to Frankfurt, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TUIfly DLM-FRA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dalaman.

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 Dalaman airport.

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Frankfurt am Main International 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 Dalaman International 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 Dalaman 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 Dalaman International Airport, TUIfly 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 Dalaman International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

The amicable route with TUIfly to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual TUIfly flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with TUIfly customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and TUIfly systems.

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 Dalaman.
