Flight delayed by TUI Fly Belgium: How to be compensated?

You can file a complaint directly on the TUI Fly Belgium website. This can be long and expensive (registered mail, waiting on the phone, …) but you can achieve your goals if you are fully aware of European regulations.

However, it is advisable to file a complaint via its services for several reasons:

  • You are sure to obtain the maximum compensation
  • The process is accelerated since TUIFly processes faster the cases that it standardizes.
  • In addition, the company avoids offering us the lower amounts that it generally offers to passengers when they make a direct request.
  • This saves you stress, phone calls, registered letters and many round trips.

It goes to court if the company does not apply the European regulation. This procedure is however rare with TUI Fly Belgium.

The procedure is free as long as it has not obtained your compensation: no commission without result.

  1. Hello, my name is Dagoberto Surun kingsley.

The reservation number is 7902504 departing from Belgium from 08/30/2022 to 09/13/2022 via Santo Domingo SDQ, with a stopover in Jamaica, without telling me, TUIFLY made a change, changing the flight to Punta Cana , 5 hours drive from Santo Domingo. and the next day, which was 09/14/2022, at 5:10 p.m. local time and on flight TB 162 to return to Belgium, I was at Santo Domingo airport on the 13th and that’s where they m informed me that the plane changed to Punta Cana and 24 hours later I had to pay for a taxi and a hotel in Punta Cana. On the 14th, when I arrive at Punta Cana airport, I do my normal check-in with my luggage as usual, going through all the immigration checks without any problem, then 30 minutes before getting on the plane, a TUI representative, the same who gave me the ticket and checked my papers, this same person took my boarding ticket, took me to a room next to immigration control telling lies that my baggage there was a liquid where it was totally wrong, next to that place there was a representative from tuifly making sure that they had contacted the pilot by radio to make the situation known and that the plane would not leave without me. I complained more than 6 times that the time was very right to leave and if the plane knew about this fake check.
    After checking and checking all the luggage, they reported to me that there was nothing in the luggage and when they checked me, they realized that the plane had left without waiting, told me informing that the captain did not want to wait for the result of my check was determined, and a few friends who also informed the flight attendants of this examination situation and also the pilot advised and even so they have made the decision to leave without me. After flight departed I complained to immigration, stayed at punta cana airport with no information, then complained to immigration manager and tuifly rep who allegedly had contacts with the capital of tuifly, then 4 long hours of waiting to find a solution for me, they found a flight that left from Punta Cana to Flamingo then to Amsterdam, I was able to leave on this flight without my luggage that tuifly has still in its possession and I have not been able to recover my personal belongings, I am very indignant and above all disappointed because of the bad treatment that tuifly gave me and the lack of communication on the change made since I consider myself a customer star because I have traveled with tuifly more than two or three times a year for more than 6 years.
    Finished my flight the next day they drop me off at Amsterdam airport, which is 3 hours from Brussels airport, to all this discomfort I have to declare all the expenses that I have incurred by the company TUIFLY and which maintains also my things seized, this same thing happened to my colleagues who were booked by me, they are: Alycia legrand Alexander legrand Diego alloy and Dagoberto Surun kingsley who is the one making the claim and i made a reservation for 4 people, 3 colleagues and for me, going to the Dominican Republic
