How much compensation can I get for a delayed Portugália Airlines flight?

-
For flights shorter than 1,500 km, the compensation is £220.
-
For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, the compensation is £350.
-
For flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU, the compensation is also £350.

Cancelled Portugália Airlines flight — refund and compensation policies
In the event of a cancelled Portugália Airlines flight — depending on the exact circumstances surrounding your cancellation — you might be entitled to a ticket refund, compensation of up to £520, or both.
When can I claim compensation for a cancelled Portugália Airlines flight?
If your Portugália Airlines flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the scheduled departure of your flight, you could claim cancelled flight compensation.
You must also consider extraordinary circumstances — situations where the flight disruption is caused by a third party or force majeure. If these extraordinary circumstances apply to your flight, you may not be eligible for compensation.
When can I claim a refund for my Portugália Airlines cancelled flight?
In a nutshell, you can get a ticket refund for your cancelled Portugália Airlines flight if:
1. Your flight was cancelled and you did not take an alternative flight offered by the airline
or
2. The airline did not offer you any alternative flight.
Portugália Airlines is offering me a travel voucher instead of a refund — should I accept it?
We advise against accepting a travel voucher. Here is why:
-
Accepting a travel voucher forces you to fly with the same airline in the future. Also, the airline usually assigns a deadline to use the voucher.
-
If the airline declares bankruptcy, you might no longer be able to convert your voucher into a cash refund — in other words, your money will be lost.
Portugália Airlines overbooked flight — get a refund, compensation and extra care
Overbooking happens. Airlines frequently sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane, and if they can't find enough volunteers to give up their reservations, people may be denied boarding against their will.

I was flying with Portugália Airlines to a non-EU country. Can I still claim compensation?
Yes, you can. Portugália Airlines is an airline headquartered in Portugal and therefore in the European Union. Because of this, EU261, the law that guarantees you the right to compensation, applies to all overbooked, cancelled and delayed Portugália Airlines flights.
However, it’s worth noting that the situation might be different if you were flying with a non-EU/non-UK airline. See the table below for details.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Portugália Airlines deny me compensation?
If Portugália Airlines was not responsible for the delay, cancellation or denied boarding, they can deny your claim for flight compensation. Those situations are referred to as Extraordinary Circumstances.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the most common extraordinary circumstances:
-
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
-
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
-
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
-
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
-
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
-
An ill or unruly passenger.
-
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
Airlines sometimes claim that extraordinary circumstances occurred when they actually did not! They do so in hope of avoiding having to pay out flight compensation to passengers.
At Flight-Delayed.co.uk we help you get your rightfully deserved compensation! We don’t let the airline use false arguments and thanks to over a decade of experience in fighting airlines, we know all about their tricks. We help you claim flight compensation, no win, no fee.
