Compensation for delayed Tap Air Portugal flight

Although airlines like Tap Air Portugal aim to maintain their scheduled times, flights may still arrive late. Fortunately, as a traveller, you are covered by airline passenger rights when Tap Air Portugal flights are delayed.

There are some extraordinary circumstances that may exempt airlines from paying compensation, such as bad weather or problems at the airport. Nevertheless, if the delay is caused by technical issues or a strike by airline staff, you will likely be eligible for compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004.

Moreover, you generally have up to 3 years to make a Tap Air Portugal flight delay compensation claim. Simply enter your flight details and our user-friendly flight delay compensation calculator will tell you if you qualify for monetary compensation, and our team of professionals will be available to assist you in obtaining it.

Flight Cancellation Compensation Tap Air Portugal

In the event of a Tap Air Portugal flight cancellation, European laws on air passenger rights are clear: Tap Air Portugal must offer you alternative transportation to get to your destination or, if you prefer, a refund.

Furthermore, if you received a notice regarding cancellation less than 14 days before departure, you may also be eligible to claim compensation of up to £520 per person.

When Tap Air Portugal cancels flights, it will usually attempt to rebook passengers on another flight at no extra cost. If this does not work for you, you may request other changes or choose to no longer take the trip.

If Tap Air Portugal books you a new flight that arrives at a similar time to your original flight, it is not required to pay compensation. This is because your plans will have minimal disruption. However, in many cases, passengers whose flights are cancelled at the last minute have the right to file a claim for compensation against Tap Air Portugal.

These rights do not apply if the flight cancellation was caused by an event beyond Tap Air Portugal's control, such as severe weather conditions or an accident at the airport. Such events are referred to as exceptional circumstances.
