Flying on TUI is a great way to get to your final destination; however, sometimes, our travels don’t go according to plan. If your flight is cancelled or delayed, you may be eligible for compensation under EC 261. As long as it’s in the airline’s control, you could receive up to €600 (£520).

What are Your Passengers Rights with TUI?

EU 261 protects your rights, regardless of the airline that you’re traveling on, as long as you’re in the European Union or meet other qualifying circumstances. Depending on the circumstances of your delay or cancellation, you have the right to a refund, rerouting, and care, including meals, accommodation, and more.

Flight Delay Compensation

When your flight is delayed more than two hours, you are entitled to basic care, including meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation and transportation (where applicable), and access to communication. If your delay is three hours or more, you can also request reimbursement and transportation to your point of origin.

You are also entitled to compensation, which can be paid as a non-fundable transportation voucher or refundable voucher.

  • Flights up to 1,500 km: €250 (£220)
  • Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400 (£350)
  • Flights over 3,500 km: €600 (£520)

Flight Cancellation Compensation

You may be entitled to additional compensation if you were notified of the cancellation less than two weeks before the departure and your new arrival and departure times are significantly different than your original times.

You’ll need to contact customer service to receive your compensation, which can be issued as non-refundable or refundable vouchers.

  • Flights up to 1,500 km: €250 (£220)
  • Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400 (£350)
  • Flights over 3,500 km: €600 (£520)

The amount may vary based on the type of compensation you request, and you might get a better value when you choose their transportation credit.

What to Do in Case of Delays or Cancellations?

Unfortunately, cancelation and delays happen. Here’s all you need to know.

Delays

  • If your flight is delayed, take note of your original departure time, the date of which you were notified, and any other information that is relevant.
  • If your delay is two hours or more and you’re already at the airport, you are entitled to care. Work with customer service to receive meals, refreshments, accommodation, transportation, communication, and more, though what you are entitled to will depend on the length of your delay.
  • After you get to your final destination, contact customer service to receive additional compensation. Depending on the length of your flight and the destination, you could be eligible for up to €600 (£520) in compensation.

Cancellation

  • If your flight is canceled, take note of your original flight, the date you were notified, and any other information that could be helpful.
  • If your cancelation occurred before you arrived at the airport, work with customer service to rebook your flight or rebook it yourself.
  • If your flight was canceled while at the airport, work with customer service to help get you on the next available flight. If you are entitled to care, they should offer it to you at this point.
  • Following your flight, contact customer service for additional compensation, providing all documentation. You could receive up to €600 (£520) in compensation.

TUI Refund Policy

If your TUI flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for a refund and financial compensation under EC 261. First, TUI will likely attempt to rebook you on a similar flight. If the changes to your trip are minimal, you will not be eligible for a refund or compensation.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive at your final destination at least 3 hours late, then you are eligible for compensation. This also applies if your flight was cancelled 14 days or less before your departure. In both these cases, you may be eligible for a refund from TUI and compensation under EC261.
