Flight delayed by TAP Portugal? Here’s how to get compensation

It is common for delayed flights to cause waiting and inconvenience for TAP Portugal passengers. However, by changing your perspective, this setback can turn into an unexpected opportunity. Have you ever considered how much a delayed flight could cost you?

TAP Air Portugal, shining star of the Portuguese sky and true air ambassador of the country, holds the reins of an unparalleled air adventure across Europe. With a network of air routes that stretches like a web across the old continent, this twirling airline opens new horizons for globetrotters and professionals in search of discovery, by weaving links between European metropolises and jewels from Portugal, without forgetting the escapades to South America, North and Africa.

But even in TAP’s aerial dance, side steps are sometimes inevitable. Delays come to play spoilsport in this well-oiled ballet, driven by capricious weather vagaries, technical hiccups, unforeseen strike movements or even traffic jams in the skies. These setbacks cast a shadow over the passengers’ journey, sowing grains of sand in the gears of their well-established plans with endless waits as reluctant spectators in airport halls, last minute changes worthy of a race obstacles, and sometimes even the specter of missed appointments or lost key moments.

When the wings of TAP Air Portugal are temporarily grounded, travelers find themselves stuck in the airport waiting room, helpless in the face of the ticking of the clock. It is in these moments that the concept of time takes on its full importance.

If your flight is delayed by more than two hours, the Portuguese company will provide compensation in the form of snacks or overnight accommodation if departure is postponed until the next day. This is a way to alleviate immediate discomfort. The situation goes up a notch when the delay reaches or exceeds three hours: TAP is then required to financially compensate its travelers, unless a major cause beyond its control is invoked.

Evaluate your compensation

The amount of this compensation varies depending on the distance of the flight. Short journeys, up to 1,500 kilometers, entitle you to 250 euros. For those which extend between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, or which, even within the EU, exceed 1,500 kilometers, the amount proposed is 400 euros. Long journeys, exceeding 3,500 kilometers outside the EU, give rise to a more substantial sum, of 600 euros.

Diving into the world of delayed flight compensation is a bit like opening an old storybook: you expect a simple story, but you quickly find yourself in an epic tale full of unexpected twists and turns. You think you’re just knocking on the airline’s door to claim what you’re owed, but that door opens into a maze of clauses and intricacies where every corridor seems designed to lead you further astray.

In this adventure, believing that common sense will prevail is naive. The companies are deploying treasures of ingenuity to keep you away from your loot. This is where the story takes an unexpected turn, because to navigate this maze, the trick is not to follow Ariadne’s thread, but to recruit an unconventional ally: legal experts specializing in the horrors from the sky.

These knights of air law wield not swords, but pens, forging claims like others armor. Their quest is not paid in honor, but as a percentage of your recovered treasure. They enter the battle, ready to face bureaucratic dragons and legislative wizards, armed only with their knowledge.
