How to be compensated by TUIfly on the Fuerteventura (FUE) - Cologne (CGN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Fuerteventura and Cologne with TUIfly? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Cologne Bonn Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Fuerteventura Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.
