A little-known fact: you have several years to file your claim against TUIfly for the Stuttgart→Palma de Mallorca flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

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.

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

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's TUIfly's employees}, {you're entitled to 250€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

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

Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. TUIfly must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Stuttgart. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Stuttgart still applies. The hotel must be provided if TUIfly delays your flight overnight.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from TUIfly?

If your case is particularly strong regarding the Stuttgart - Palma de Mallorca incident, some services buy out your right to compensation. You get your payout in record time!

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

TUIfly's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The prospect of legal proceedings is frequently enough to {make TUIfly yield|unlock payment}. Airlines calculate that litigation costs would far exceed the 250€ claimed.
