On this journey of 4 945 km, each traveller impacted by {a significant delay|a cancellation attributable to TUIfly} can claim 600€ in payout. This is a right guaranteed by law.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

  • Arrival airport: Rabil Airport (BVC)
  • Flight distance: 4 945 km (~6h11)

This statutory compensation system was designed to deter airlines from altering schedules without valid grounds. Make sure you invoke this often-overlooked regulation.

Airlines like TUIfly sometimes prioritise cases handled by law firms to avoid late-payment penalties. Long-haul claims, with higher amounts, are sometimes processed more slowly.

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

Know that TUIfly doesn't need to justify its refusal immediately. But when you respond with documentation, the obligation to prove shifts {to the airline|onto TUIfly}.

As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. TUIfly will almost always choose to pay the 600€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
