TAP Air Portugal cancelled flight compensation: refund, rerouting and EC261

When EC261 covers a TAP Air Portugal cancellation, the passenger can have refund or rerouting choices and care while waiting. Fixed compensation can also be possible, but notice timing, replacement-flight timings and extraordinary circumstances can change or remove that entitlement.

Refund or rerouting is a separate right

TAP's EC261 notice describes reimbursement or rerouting choices after a covered cancellation. Assistance while waiting for rerouting can also apply. Those remedies should be checked independently from any fixed-compensation question.

Notice, replacement timing and cause determine compensation

The compensation analysis changes with the amount of advance notice, the timing of any replacement flight and whether TAP can rely on extraordinary circumstances. A cancellation by itself is not enough to establish a fixed payment.

  • Keep the original itinerary and cancellation notification.
  • Record when the cancellation notice was received.
  • Save the replacement itinerary and the airline's explanation of the cause.
