Flights between the UK and Tunisia: what a delay is worth
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 per passenger under UK261 if the flight left the UK (€400 under EU261 if it left Tunisia instead and the airline was a UK or EU carrier).

Your rights on this route
Every flight leaving the UK for Tunisia is covered by UK261, 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 UK261, 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.
