This depends on the nature of the technical difficulty. For instance, if it was a manufacturer defect that could not have been caught during maintenance or an external event caused it (e.g., a bird flew in the engine), then the airline may not be liable to pay. However, if the issue was caused by poor maintenance or wear and tear, then the company is liable to pay your compensation.

This depends on your status in regard to the other person. For example, if they are minors and you are their legal guardian or parent, then you can claim compensation on their behalf. Similarly, if you purchased a group ticket and your name is the one on the booking confirmation, you may also ask for confirmation as a proxi for them.

This depends on various circumstances, such as length of delay or availability of alternative flights. For instance, in case of a delay, you can request a refund for your ticket if you’ve been waiting for more than 5 hours and there’s no flight in sight. That said, if there’s been a cancellation and they have not found a suitable alternative flight, you can get your money back for the ticket.

Food vouchers are different from travel vouchers, and it’s something that TUI is required to give you for flight delays that last longer than 2 hours. Receiving these vouchers does not affect your right to compensation, as only travel vouchers may cause potential complications.

TUI Airlines is responsible for taking you from one place to another within the specified timeframe. If they found a suitable alternative flight that gets you there within the 3-hour limit, then there is a chance you may not get compensated. On the other hand, if the second flight has you downgraded, you have the right to get the money difference back, whether or not you get there on time.
