Flight compensation TUIfly:
Faro — Munich

Legal right: TUIfly flight between Faro and Munich

You travelled with TUIfly from Faro to Munich and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Faro and Munich (2 038 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by TUIfly. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

Good to know? Even if TUIfly is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Faro Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight TUIfly Faro - Munich is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Munich|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|TUIfly is responsible for|the fault lies with} TUIfly.

What many don't know: you have several years to submit your request against TUIfly for the Faro-Munich flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Faro - Munich delay was caused by an staff strike at TUIfly, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

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.

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

Here is what TUIfly owes you if your flight is delayed at Faro Airport: refreshments and food adapted to waiting time, two free communications, and a hotel night if the flight is pushed to the next day.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Faro still applies. The hotel must be provided if TUIfly delays your flight overnight.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

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

The paradox: the longer TUIfly delays paying your 400€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 400€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

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

It is not uncommon for TUIfly's algorithms to automatically reject your first attempt under a vague excuse without merit.

Aviation law experts have a vast record of rulings against TUIfly, which is a powerful lever in proceedings.
