If your delay exceeds 2 hours, you are entitled to care

If you find yourself dealing with an unplanned wildcat strike, you may feel caught off guard. In the event that your TuiFly GmbH flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to food, drink, and lodging, as needed. The airline may provide vouchers for these expenses, but it’s important to keep receipts in case you need to claim reimbursement later on.

It’s not mandatory to accept a different flight offered by TuiFly GmbH.

The airline is obliged to offer you a complimentary alternative flight. They should try to provide you with the earliest possible flight, but if all the flights are fully booked, they might offer you an alternative option that makes your travel plans redundant.

If the airline proposes an alternative flight that doesn’t suit you, you can refuse it and the airline must refund the ticket price. If the airline fails to offer you an alternative or if you find a better option on your own, the airline must compensate you for the price difference between the two tickets.

Tip: Before doing anything, it’s best to wait for a final notice from TuiFly GmbH

There may be few alternative flights available from other airlines. Of course, you want to secure another flight as soon as possible. However, we advise you not to book an alternative flight yourself before you have received final confirmation from TuiFly GmbH that your flight has been cancelled. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.

Did the TuiFly GmbH strike disrupt your travel plans? You could be owed compensation

When the airline’s own staff, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, engage in a strike, TuiFly GmbH can be held liable. Under Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered a force majeure event, and you are entitled to compensation if you arrive more than 3 hours late or 1 hour early.

The amount of compensation you receive is determined by the distance of your journey and whether your flight was canceled less than 2 weeks before your departure.

The amount of compensation is not dependent on your ticket price. It is possible that the compensation you receive is higher than the cost of your ticket. The amount of compensation is determined based on the distance of the journey.

Flight destinations within the EU:

• €250 compensation for flights up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for flights over 1500 km

Flight destinations outside the EU:

• €250 compensation for flights up to 1500 km
