Tunisair Flight Compensation Claims

As a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:

  • Flight delay: If your flight arrived 3+ hours late at your final destination.
  • Tunisair Cancel Flight: if Tunisair cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.
  • Dumping due to oversale: If you have been denied boarding due to overbooking.
  • Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs and you arrived at your destination 3+ hours late.

 

Tunisair Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?

When Tunisair can escape liability: Tunisair claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Tunisair missed flight refund.

All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.

Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Tunisair flight compensation.

An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.

When Tunisair cannot escape liability: When Tunisair cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.

Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Tunisair flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Tunisair Flight Refund policy

A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.

In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.

If Tunisair cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.

Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.

Note: If Tunisair offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund. 

Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

Tunisair Flight Delay Compensation

While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU regulation 261 (EU 261) protects passengers in cases of flight delays.

According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Tunisair delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.

Exclusions: Tunisair delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.

Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

Common questions: Compensation Claims and Refunds

What to do when your Tunisair flight is cancelled?

Confirm the reason for a flight cancellation with the airline ticket desk. Also, collect receipts for any additional expenses for reimbursement later. Ask the airline to provide food and refreshments for a delay of 3 hours or more. If your replacement flight is departing the next day, the airline must provide hotel accommodation and transportation. Finally, use our free online compensation calculator to check if you are eligible for compensation and submit a Tunisair refund for cancellation.

What if I cancel my Tunisair flight? Can I get a refund?

If Tunisair cancels the flight, they must refund the price of ticket to passengers. But if you decide to voluntarily cancel your scheduled flight, you are not entitled to a refund. Tunisair cancellation policy is restrictive, unless you have a flexible fare, which allows you to reschedule your flight to a later date with minimal cost.

Note: regardless of ticket type, passengers have the right to request a refund amount for airport taxes and fees as part of a cancellation refund.

Do I also get my money back for the Tunisair cancelled a flight due to Covid-19?

If Tunisair cancelled a flight due to Covid-19, passengers are entitled to a reimbursement as part of flight cancellation rights. If Tunisair attempts to reimburse your cancelled flight with a voucher, we do not recommend taking it. Instead, apply for a refund. If your refund claim is rejected, AirAdvisor can help enforce your claim through our external lawyers.

Can I Get a Tunisair Refund?

If you didn't book a flexible, refundable fare and ended up cancelling your own flight, it's likely that you won't be able to get any money back. On the other hand if Tunisair has cancelled your flight, then you shall have the right to a refund.

How many hours for flight delay to be eligible for Tunisair compensation?

Actual duration of flight delay shall be minimum of 3 hours, otherwise EU Regulation 261 will not apply. The delay is measured at final destination. You can check your Tunisair flight eligibility via AirAdvisor site.

Achwek from Tunisia (Tunisair TU 607 Flight delay)
September 21, 2024, 11:41 pm

The flight was originally scheduled for 19:20. but we were informed during boarding at 23:30 of a delay. Later, we received another update of a one-hour delay, then it's set for 2:10 . You should check with your company because they don’t seem to know if we will be traveling or not. And finally, we took it at 2:30(I wasn’t able to work it was a bad experience with this delay and we all was stressful) During boarding, they only gave us a €25 voucher for food


Nawres from Tunisia (Tunisair TU 607 Flight delay)
September 21, 2024, 10:37 pm

We were supposed to arrive at 08:35PM but we arrived at the final destination around 3AM. And I struggled finding a taxi at that very late time, also it was risky because I didn’t plan it from the beginning. I did not contact the airlines directly, but while doing the checkin and taking our boarding passes they gave us a 25euros voucher for eating inside the airport. I don’t have a picture of the voucher because I used it in the airport. I got home at 04:30AM and I was super tired and sick, so I missed a day of work on Friday.
