Flight compensation TUIfly:
Stuttgart — Faro

Procedure: TUIfly flight compensation from Stuttgart to Faro

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 902 km of flight, the company TUIfly is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Stuttgart - Faro is eligible?

For an TUIfly flight from Stuttgart to Faro, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TUIfly STR-FAO flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Stuttgart.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Faro.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

The impact of a strike on your TUIfly compensation

Don't be fooled by TUIfly's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Stuttgart, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for TUIfly.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Stuttgart Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by TUIfly.
