Claim and compensation for flight TUIfly Stuttgart - Palma de Mallorca

The STR - PMI 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 Stuttgart Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 139 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Stuttgart Airport (STR)
  • Arrival airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Flight distance: 1 139 km (~1h25)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like TUIfly.

How to know if the flight TUIfly Stuttgart - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Stuttgart and Palma de Mallorca entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 139 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palma de Mallorca.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Stuttgart, 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 Palma De Mallorca 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 Stuttgart - Palma de Mallorca flight.

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

If Stuttgart Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of TUIfly, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Stuttgart remains valid. The hotel is due if TUIfly offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from TUIfly?

For your Stuttgart - Palma de Mallorca trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by TUIfly staff at the Stuttgart Airport counter during the incident.

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

How long does it take to get the 250 € 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 250 € 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?

The first refusal from TUIfly should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Stuttgart Airport airport to prove their faults.
