Claim and compensation for flight TUIfly Rhodos - Nuernberg

The RHO - NUE route operated by TUIfly experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Diagoras Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 000 km determines your legal compensation level.

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: Diagoras Airport (RHO)
  • Arrival airport: Nuremberg Airport (NUE)
  • Flight distance: 2 000 km (~2h30)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Did you know? Even if TUIfly is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Diagoras Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Nuernberg. If TUIfly made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Nuremberg Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nuernberg.
  • 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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Nuremberg Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

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 Rhodos - Nuernberg flight.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Diagoras Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Rhodos shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your RHO-NUE trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

For your Rhodos - Nuernberg trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by TUIfly staff at the Diagoras Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight RHO-NUE to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with TUIfly without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Rhodos.
