Why are you entitled to 400 €?

  • Arrival airport: Dalaman International Airport (DLM)
  • Flight distance: 2 377 km (~2h58)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

To check if your flight between Duesseldorf and Dalaman is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Dalaman International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Duesseldorf, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

A work stoppage by TUIfly'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 air traffic control, TUIfly is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.
