Flight compensation TUIfly:
Frankfurt — Rhodos

How to get compensated from TUIfly on Frankfurt (FRA) - Rhodos (RHO)

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

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 2 178 km, TUIfly is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt TUIfly from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

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

The compensation for FRA→RHO is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. On this medium-haul distance, delays are frequent and often compensable.

If you had a connection are equally covered. If your first TUIfly segment Frankfurt→Rhodos leads to a missed connection, the total delay at your final destination counts.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rhodos.
• 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 rule is simple: if TUIfly's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|TUIfly} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 400€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value TUIfly's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 400€}.

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

Too many passengers don't know that TUIfly must offer them sustenance and contact means throughout the delay at Frankfurt am Main International Airport. It's a legal obligation, not a bonus.

Many passengers don't know that transport between the hotel and the airport of Frankfurt am Main International Airport is also covered in the mandatory care required of TUIfly.
