Do you know how to claim a flight? Theft claims are more frequent than you might think. Unfortunately, travelers have had to deal with situations such as cancellations, delays, overbooking and those that cause the most discomfort: baggage loss, damage or delay.

You can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are

Tunisair Express is required to inform its passengers of delays from the first moment and if they do not, know that after two hours that the flight has not left on time, you have the right to assistance, and maintenance and, if it is more than three hours late, they have to pay you compensation.

Big delays recorded on Tunisair Express flights? This is mainly due to delays and cancellations. The Tunisian company serves several destinations in Europe, and attributes the situation to the saturated air market in this continent.

Everything you need to know about theft claims

The ideal before claiming delayed flights is to know all your rights and the different situations in which you are entitled to receive compensation, so that lawyers can defend you adequately. While this could be due to the amount of legislation or how difficult it is, it normally takes a lot of time and patience, factors you sometimes overlook and a situation that airlines ultimately profit from. Either way, the most important thing is that, alone or with help, never stop claiming your rights.

For this reason, the most frequent cases that you may have seen or will have to face while traveling are detailed below, so that you know how to act:

Compensation for delay

Doing all the paperwork for a flight delay compensation claim can be tedious. You may be surprised to know that the compensation obtained, not only for delay but also for cancellation, overbooking or loss of luggage, varies between € 250 and € 600. You can even make a claim for thefts up to five years ago.

In the event of a flight delay of more than three hours to the final destination, you can claim from Tunisair Express delay compensation between € 250 and € 600. Said compensation will also include costs, damages and losses caused such as hotels lost at destination or paid while awaiting the delayed flight; taxis, meals at the airport or away, missed tours and car rentals.

Flights within the European Union

Covered flights are all those on which you travel within the EU, whether or not the airline is owned by Europeans. EU airspace also includes Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the so-called outermost region (French Guiana and Martinique, Mayotte, Guadeloupe and Reunion, Saint-Martin, Madeira and Azores and the Canary Islands).

You can also claim a flight for delay if you have taken off from the European Union to a location outside of it, regardless of where the airline is coming from.

If your flight departs from an airport outside the EU to a country in the European Union, you can only file a flight delay claim if the airline is European.

If you are traveling from outside the EU to a non-European destination, you will not be able to claim compensation from Tunisair Express.

In Tunisia or other countries, claiming a flight for delay is often at the expense of the airline, unless there is a delay on the runway.

If your flight is stopped at an airport with passengers on board, the airline must provide you with food, water, toilet facilities, and medical attention within two hours of the start of the flight. delay.After 3-4 hours in the case of international flights, the aircraft must return to the boarding gate and let you go, as long as the pilot does not consider that there are air traffic control or security issues that cause it.

What if you are delayed on an international flight?

Are delays on international flights covered? although the rights of international passengers are governed by the Montreal Convention signed by more than 120 countries. Only “impact damage” is covered, which is interpreted differently in the US (it only refers to economic losses) or in the EU: moral and economic damage.

As you can see, claiming theft is a complex matter that should be delegated to a compensation company if you don’t want to handle all the paperwork yourself.
