Under which circumstances you are eligible to claim compensation?
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers are entitled to compensation or refund, if the airline was responsible for…
- ☛flight delays: if you arrived at the final destination with more than 3 hours of delay.
- ☛flight cancellations: If your flight was cancelled without prior notice of at least 14 days before departure.

TUI flight delay compensation
If your TUI flight delays, you could be entitled to financial compensation up to 600€ (or £510) or refund under EU Regulation 261. The EU law helps air passengers for reimbursement according to the length of the delay.
If the disruptions were caused due to extraordinary circumstances there is no compensation. Examples of such circumstances include strike (pilot strike, air traffic control strike, etc.), security threats, extreme weather, or any ‘Act of God’.
Important: Do not accept vouchers from the airline. The voucher has only a few months of validity and it doesn’t give you the flexibility. Asking for compensation is good rather than accepting a voucher. The only voucher you should accept is a meal voucher because it doesn’t affect your right to compensation
Flight departure delays
If there’s delay at departure, you are eligible for “Right to Care”. The airlines must offer:
For 2 Hours Flight Delays
Foods/Snacks
Communication

Plus, compensation of up to 600 Euros, if you reached your final destination later than three hours.

If your alternate flight or re-scheduled flight delays for more than 2 hours, you could be eligible for compensation under EU 261 Rule.
The amount of compensation is between 125€ and 600€ depending upon ….
- days you were informed before
- length of delay, and
- route distance
