Flight compensation TUIfly:
Heraklion — Duesseldorf

Legal right: TUIfly flight between Heraklion and Duesseldorf

The route HER - DUS by TUIfly was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Given the route between Heraklion and Duesseldorf (2 303 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by TUIfly. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from TUIfly, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if TUIfly proposes a voucher for your Heraklion - Duesseldorf flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 400€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Heraklion, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

Be wary by TUIfly's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

A strike by air traffic control at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which TUIfly cannot act.

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

Consider the situation: stuck endlessly at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, in uncertainty about the new departure. In this scenario, TUIfly cannot leave you without anything. The regulation demands action.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

It is strongly recommended to keep your TUIfly boarding pass and all communications regarding the delay at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport. These documents are crucial for supporting your case.

By entrusting your HER-DUS case to our experts, you benefit from the "no result, no charge" principle (you only pay if you win).

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait over 6 months for a response from TUIfly. An expert can halve this time.

Technology now allow you to monitor the progress of your claim against TUIfly through an online dashboard. For a medium-haul, expect around 6 to 10 weeks with an expert.

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

It is not uncommon for TUIfly's algorithms to automatically reject your first attempt under a vague excuse without merit.

Aviation law experts have a vast record of rulings against TUIfly, which is a powerful lever in proceedings.
