Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Kos Airport (KGS)
  • Flight distance: 1 789 km (~2h14)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.

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

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Kos|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|TUIfly is responsible for|the fault lies with} TUIfly.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 400€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Munich, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TUIfly's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's TUIfly's employees}, {you're entitled to 400€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if TUIfly is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Munich International Airport are fully at the airline'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 Munich International Airport. These documents are crucial for supporting your case.

The key advantage: they absorb 100% of the risk and only charge when the 400€ case is won.

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

On the MUC→KGS line, delays can differ depending on the responsiveness of TUIfly's legal department.

The online procedure of specialist platforms automates admin: scan your boarding pass, e-sign, and automatic tracking from start to finish.

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

For your 400€, don't settle with TUIfly without the advice of a professional who knows the full scope of your claim for Munich→Kos.
