Dealing with flight issues can be quite upsetting. However, the bright side is that the European Union has laws to assist travelers when things get messed up. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s a good idea to know about these protections. They can come in handy if your flight gets messed up.
Understanding your rights can make managing travel issues much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can reduce your anxiety when things don’t go as planned.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
If your flight faces disruptions in the EU, you’ll get help. EU laws guarantee airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:
- Food and drinks
- Accommodation if you’re stuck overnight
- Transportation to and from the hotel
- Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes
If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also get:
- A refund
- A different flight option
- Compensation to make up for the trouble
Remember to inquire with airline representatives about these things if your plans change. They must tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Transavia Flight Delay Compensation
Delays with flights from Transavia can be really annoying. However there’s some good news: if you’re stuck waiting for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Laws in the UK and EU are in your favor. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What counts is when you reach your destination, not when you take off. So monitor your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
The amount you receive depends on how far you’re flying. A brief trip won’t get you as much money as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.
Want to know exactly how much you could get? Check out the table below to see the potential reimbursement amounts:
| Less than 3 hours | Between 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Distance |
| €0 | €250 | €250 | All flights up to 1500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All intra-EU flights over 3500 km |
| €0 | €300 | €600 | All non-EU flights over 3500 km |
Transavia Flight Cancellation Compensation
The European Union has laws to assist you if your flight gets cancelled. Here’s what you should know:
If your flight is cancelled within two weeks of your planned travel date, you could be eligible for compensation up to €600. However, there’s a condition – the airline can avoid paying if they can get you on another flight that aligns closely with your original schedule.
The carrier can bypass compensation if they arrange a replacement flight that meets the following conditions:
| Advance Notice | Re-routing Requirements |
| 14 Days | None |
| 7 – 13 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight |
| Less than 7 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight |
If you choose to board a different flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. The key factor is when you reach your final destination.
How much money you might get depends on two things:
- How far you’re flying
- The time difference between the scheduled and actual arrival
As a result, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you may still receive some compensation.
Look at the table below for more information:
| Under 2 hours | 2-3 hours | 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Never arrived | Distance |
| €125 | €250 | €250 | €250 | €250 | All flights 1,500 km or less |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Internal EU flights over 1,500 km |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km |
| €300 | €300 | €300 | €600 | €600 | Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km |
The airline may not need to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you’re just a little late, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.
How to Claim Compensation from Transavia
It’s crucial to understand how to claim the compensation you’re entitled to under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s how to do it:
- Complete our form. You’ll need to provide details such as your flight number, date, and the problem you faced.
- Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will handle the rest. We understand the EU laws thoroughly and will make every effort to secure your compensation. You only incur a fee if we win your case.
Remember that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed as a result of operational issues or technical issues, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like adverse weather conditions or air traffic control decisions, you are entitled to compensation.
Which Transavia Flights are Covered by EU261?
The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union have a wide-ranging scope. They cover any flight taking off from an airport within an EU country and every flight landing at an airport in an EU member state if the flight is operated by an EU airline.
| Itinerary | Covered by EU 261 |
| Flights departing EU airports | ✅ Covered |
| Flights arriving at EU airports | ✅ Covered |
These regulations also cover airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re traveling with any airline to, within, or from Europe, you probably have these rights. It’s good to be aware of these laws – they exist to support you if problems occur with your flight. They guarantee you’re not left on your own when your trip arrangements fall through.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Transavia is not always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Sometimes, situations arise that the airline can’t control, like severe weather conditions or unforeseen issues.
For example, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an urgent situation at the airport, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Transavia isn’t responsible. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.
When these events take place, you are unlikely to get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties come up.
