What you're owed
£350each if you land 3 hours or more late
Every route the CAA tracks between the UK and Tunisia falls in the same distance band (Over 1,500 to 3,500 km), so a delay of 3 hours or more pays a flat £350 each if the flight left the UK (€400 under EU261 if it left Tunisia instead and the airline was a UK or EU carrier). Find your route below.

All 15 tracked UK ↔ Tunisia routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €400 for the same band.
The figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.

Your rights
Your rights on this corridor
Every flight leaving the UK for Tunisia is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Tunisia, are covered too if a UK or EU airline operated them; a return flight on a non-UK, non-EU carrier falls outside it, though the Montreal Convention and Tunisia's own rules may still give you a claim. See the full breakdown on the 3-hour rule. Cancelled instead of delayed? Broadly the same amounts apply under different conditions. See cancelled flight compensation.
