Flight compensation TUIfly:
Rhodos — Duesseldorf

Get your TUIfly flight compensation for the route Rhodos - Duesseldorf

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TUIfly did not respect its scheduled times for your Rhodos - Duesseldorf flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 363 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.

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 Rhodos - Duesseldorf is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Dusseldorf International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, TUIfly owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TUIfly RHO-DUS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rhodos.

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 Rhodos airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to TUIfly (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Rhodos - Duesseldorf trip is due to an internal strike within TUIfly, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Diagoras Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which TUIfly has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. TUIfly must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rhodos.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Diagoras Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

The amicable route with TUIfly to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

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?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Rhodos to Dusseldorf International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against TUIfly on your smartphone.

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

Don't take TUIfly's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company TUIfly will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
