Get your TUIfly flight compensation for the route Nuernberg - Tenerife

From Nuremberg Airport airport, your departure with TUIfly to Tenerife didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 346 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires TUIfly to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Nuremberg Airport (NUE)
  • Arrival airport: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
  • Flight distance: 3 346 km (~4h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight TUIfly Nuernberg - Tenerife is eligible?

The compensation for flight NUE-TFS is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TUIfly sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Nuremberg Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by TUIfly staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Nuernberg - Tenerife flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Nuremberg Airport, TUIfly must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Nuremberg Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Tenerife South Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of TUIfly.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like TUIfly to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and TUIfly systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from TUIfly is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against TUIfly is often more striking.
