Kurze Antwort
When TAP Air Portugal cancels your flight you always get the choice between a full refund and re-routing, plus meals and a hotel while you wait. Compensation of €250, €400 or €600 per passenger is due on top if TAP Air Portugal told you less than 14 days before departure and did not offer a replacement flight within the legal time windows — unless it proves extraordinary circumstances.

Direct answer
- Short answer
- Hat TAP Air Portugal Sie weniger als 14 Tage vor Abflug über die Annullierung informiert und Sie nicht innerhalb der gesetzlichen Fenster umgebucht, ist eine Ausgleichszahlung nach EU261 pro Fluggast geschuldet, sofern TAP Air Portugal keinen außergewöhnlichen Umstand nachweist.
- Amount
- 250 €–600 €pro Fluggast auf typischen TAP Air Portugal-Strecken, nach Entfernung
- Why
- Die Ausgleichszahlung hängt davon ab, wann TAP Air Portugal Sie informiert und was sie angeboten hat (Artikel 5); der Betrag richtet sich nach der Entfernung. Erstattung oder Umbuchung und Betreuung sind unabhängig von der Ursache geschuldet.
- What can change it
- Sie wurden 14 Tage oder früher vor Abflug informiert: keine Ausgleichszahlung, aber Erstattung oder Umbuchung
- TAP Air Portugal hat Sie innerhalb der gesetzlichen Fenster umgebucht (2 h früher / 4 h später bei 7–14 Tagen Vorlauf; 1 h / 2 h unter 7 Tagen)
- TAP Air Portugal weist für Ihren Flug einen außergewöhnlichen Umstand nach – Wetter, Flugsicherung, Streik Dritter – und dass die Verspätung nicht vermeidbar war
- Eine andere Airline hat das Flugzeug betrieben: Das ausführende Luftfahrtunternehmen schuldet die Zahlung, nicht TAP Air Portugal

Können TAP Air Portugal-Passagiere eine Entschädigung verlangen?
Ja. TAP Air Portugal besitzt eine EU/EWR- Lizenz, daher gilt die Verordnung 261 für Flüge ab der EU/dem EWR, dem Vereinigten Königreich oder der Schweiz und für Flüge dorthin: 250 €–600 € pro Passagier bei einer Ankunftsverspätung von 3 Stunden oder mehr, einer Annullierung mit weniger als 14 Tagen Vorlauf oder Nichtbeförderung – es sei denn, die Airline beweist außergewöhnliche Umstände.

TAP cancellations: what is specific
TAP’s notice is the e-mail or app message announcing the cancellation and offering a refund or a rebooking; its timestamp decides the 14-day rule. Schedule changes announced weeks ahead carry no compensation, but you still choose between a refund and re-routing.
For long-haul cancellations TAP usually rebooks via Lisbon on its next flight — often the next day. If the re-routing arrives more than 4 hours after your original schedule, the full €600 is due; under 4 hours, TAP may halve it to €300. Hotel and meals while you wait are owed in addition (Article 9), whatever the cause.
The three questions that decide a TAP Air Portugal cancellation claim
- When did TAP Air Portugal tell you? Informed 14 days or more before departure: no compensation, but a refund or re-routing and care. Less than 14 days: compensation is due unless a replacement flight met the windows below or the cause was extraordinary. TAP Air Portugal must prove when and how it informed you — keep its cancellation e-mail or app notification with the timestamp.
- What replacement did TAP Air Portugal offer? Between 7 and 14 days’ notice, no compensation if the re-routing departed no more than 2 hours early and arrived less than 4 hours late; under 7 days’ notice the margins shrink to 1 hour early and 2 hours late.
- Why was it cancelled? Weather, air-traffic-control restrictions, security and external strikes are extraordinary; TAP Air Portugal’s technical problems, crew shortages, rotation planning and its own staff’s strikes are not.
What you always get, whatever the reason
Compensation may depend on the cause, but three rights never do. TAP Air Portugal must offer you the choice between a full refund of the unused ticket (within 7 days, in cash or bank transfer — a voucher only with your agreement) and re-routing to your final destination at the earliest opportunity or on a later date of your choice. While you wait for the re-routing TAP Air Portugal must provide meals, refreshments, two calls or e-mails and, when an overnight stay becomes necessary, a hotel and transport to it. If it leaves you to arrange this yourself, keep receipts and claim the reasonable amounts.
How much TAP Air Portugal owes when compensation is due
€250, €400 or €600 per passenger under EU261, set by the distance of the flight (or of the whole journey on one booking). TAP Air Portugal may halve the long-haul amount to €300 when the replacement flight it offered arrived within the reduction windows (2 hours late for short flights, 3 hours for medium, 4 hours for long).
How to claim a cancellation from TAP Air Portugal
- Keep the cancellation notice, the original booking and the details of any replacement flight offered (departure and arrival times).
- Ask TAP Air Portugal in writing for the reason for the cancellation.
- Submit the claim through TAP Air Portugal’s official channel (https://www.flytap.com/en-pt/customer-support), stating the notice date, the replacement offered (or not) and the amount per passenger.
- If TAP Air Portugal refuses or stalls for 8 weeks, escalate to ANAC (Portugal NEB), then to the courts within the limitation period of the departure country.
Häufige Fragen
Do I get compensation if TAP Air Portugal cancelled my flight two weeks in advance?
Not fixed compensation: cancellations announced 14 days or more before departure are exempt. TAP Air Portugal still owes you the choice between a full refund and re-routing, and care if you travel on the replacement flight.
Can TAP Air Portugal give me a voucher instead of a refund?
Only with your written agreement. The refund must be paid in cash, by bank transfer or card within 7 days. You can decline a voucher and insist on money.
Is a strike a valid reason for TAP Air Portugal not to pay?
A strike by TAP Air Portugal's own pilots, cabin crew or ground staff is not an extraordinary circumstance, so compensation is due. Strikes by air-traffic controllers or airport staff outside TAP Air Portugal's control are extraordinary, but the refund, re-routing and care rights still apply.
TAP Air Portugal rebooked me on a flight the next day — is that compensable?
If you were informed less than 7 days before departure, compensation is due unless the replacement departed at most 1 hour early and arrived less than 2 hours late — a next-day flight almost always exceeds that. TAP Air Portugal also owes a hotel and meals for the night.
