Denied boarding on TUIfly Frankfurt - Dalaman entitles you to up to 400€. Find out if you're eligible.

Departing from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 2 193 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.
