TAP has one of the highest delay rates in Western Europe — particularly through its Lisbon hub — making it one of the most frequently claimed airlines. TAP emerged from bankruptcy restructuring in 2024; your compensation rights remain fully intact.

You have up to 3 years from the date of your flight to submit a claim in most EU countries. Portugal follows the general EU three-year limitation period for passenger rights claims. Don't wait — the sooner you claim, the easier it is to document.
