Flight compensation TUIfly:
Frankfurt — Heraklion

Legal right to compensation: TUIfly flight between Frankfurt and Heraklion

If your trip departing from Frankfurt am Main International Airport and arriving at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport operated by TUIfly was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 114 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if TUIfly is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if TUIfly offers you a voucher for your Frankfurt - Heraklion flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Frankfurt, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TUIfly staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Frankfurt am Main International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by TUIfly is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.
