Flight compensation TUIfly:
Kos — Frankfurt

Claim up to 400€ for TUIfly flight Kos - Frankfurt

Your compensation claim for the TUIfly flight from Kos to Frankfurt deserves attention. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

Departing from Kos Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 2 088 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like TUIfly.

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

To determine if your flight between Kos and Frankfurt is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Frankfurt am Main International Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Be cautious: TUIfly may attempt to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't sign anything without consulting an expert.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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