Procedure: TUIfly flight compensation from Tenerife to Mulhouse

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If TUIfly did not respect its scheduled times for your Tenerife - Mulhouse flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 010 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
  • Arrival airport: EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (BSL)
  • Flight distance: 3 010 km (~3h46)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Tenerife - Mulhouse is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If TUIfly sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Tenerife South Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for TUIfly to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Tenerife, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 Tenerife, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for TUIfly.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. TUIfly must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Tenerife.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from TUIfly?

Getting justice against carrier TUIfly requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of TUIfly.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Tenerife to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the TUIfly flight from Tenerife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take TUIfly's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of TUIfly convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
