Process: compensation for TUIfly flight from Duesseldorf to Hurghada

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TUIfly failed to meet its timetable for your Duesseldorf → Hurghada flight, EU law backs you up.

Whether you paid €50 or €500, the compensation remains the same: 600€ per passenger. {The distance|The 3 511 km} matters, not the ticket price. Long-haul flights benefit from the highest tier.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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

  • Arrival airport: Hurghada International Airport (HRG)
  • Flight distance: 3 511 km (~4h23)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Contrary to what {many think|TUIfly might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

The indemnity for DUS-HRG is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. Long-haul flights are particularly affected as delays are more impactful.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dusseldorf International Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 600€ payout.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Hurghada.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to TUIfly (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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