Frequently Asked Questions

Are charter flights to Djerba covered by EU261?

Yes — all major charter carriers serving Djerba are EU/UK-registered. TUI (multiple country subsidiaries), Corendon (Dutch), Eurowings (German), easyJet Holidays, Jet2 (UK). EU261/UK261 applies to charter flights identically to scheduled — €400 medium-haul tier.

Tunisair flights also serve Djerba — covered?

Tunisair (non-EU) — covered only on EU/UK departures. Frankfurt → DJE on Tunisair = covered (€400). Djerba → Frankfurt return on Tunisair = NOT covered.

What if I'm on a TUI package and the flight is part of the holiday?

EU261 still applies. The regulation covers all flights regardless of whether they're sold as part of a package. TUI, as the operating airline, owes EU261 compensation. Additionally, package travel directives may give you contractual remedies against the tour operator.

When can the airline refuse?

Only for genuine extraordinary circumstances — severe weather, ATC strikes, security incidents. Technical faults, crew rostering, knock-on delays, and own-staff strikes are NOT extraordinary (CJEU C-549/07, C-28/20). Push back if rejected.

    Was your flight delayed or cancelled?

    Check whether you are owed compensation of up to EUR 600.
