TUIfly passengers Stuttgart-Munich: your guide to get compensated

If your journey from Stuttgart Airport to Munich International Airport operated by TUIfly was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Stuttgart and Munich (192 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by TUIfly. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 is not a goodwill gesture from TUIfly, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Make sure to retain your flight records for the TUIfly STR-MUC flight. They are the essential proof of your presence on board.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 250€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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