How to get compensated from TUIfly on Tenerife (TFS) - Duesseldorf (DUS)

Flight cancelled on your TUIfly flight Tenerife ✈ Duesseldorf? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

Fortunately, for this route of 3 237 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires TUIfly to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Dusseldorf International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, TUIfly must pay you 400€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first TUIfly segment Tenerife-Duesseldorf causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.
