Dealing with flight problems can be quite upsetting. However, the bright side is that the European Union has regulations to support travelers when things go wrong. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s smart to know about these protections. They can come in handy if your flight goes off course.
Knowing what you’re entitled to can make dealing with travel problems a lot simpler. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can help you feel less stressed when things get disrupted.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
EU air passengers are protected if their flight experiences difficulties. 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 stranded overnight
- Transportation to and from the hotel
- Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes
If you’re experiencing a significant delay 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 staff about these entitlements if your plans change. They must tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Transavia Flight Delay Compensation
Travel setbacks from Transavia can be very frustrating. However there’s a bright side: if you’re delayed for more than three hours due to the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Laws in the UK and EU are on your side. You could receive up to €600 per person. What counts is when you reach your destination, not when you leave. So keep an eye on your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
How much you get depends on the length of your journey. A brief trip won’t yield as much as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed the same amount of time.
Curious about 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
Europe has regulations to protect you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you should know:
If your flight gets cancelled less than two weeks before your scheduled departure, you could be eligible for compensation up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline can avoid paying if they rebook you on a different flight that aligns closely with your original schedule.
The airline may not need to compensate you if they offer you a new 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 accept another flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. The most important thing is your arrival time at your destination.
Your potential compensation is determined by two factors:
- 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 could still be eligible for compensation.
Look at the following table to understand better:
| 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 might not have to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you arrive shortly after the scheduled time, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.
How to Claim Compensation from Transavia
It’s essential to know how to claim the compensation you deserve under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s how to do it:
- Complete our form. You’ll need to provide details including 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 know the EU laws comprehensively and will make every effort to get you your compensation. You only pay us if we win your case.
Don’t forget that it is your right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. Regardless of whether your flight was delayed because of operational reasons or mechanical problems, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances including inclement weather or air traffic control decisions, you qualify for compensation.
Which Transavia Flights are Covered by EU261?
The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are comprehensive in scope. They apply to any flight taking off from an airport within an EU country and to all flights arriving 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 laws also apply to airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re flying with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you likely have these rights. It’s helpful to know about these regulations – they’re there to assist you if problems occur with your flight. They make sure you’re not stranded when your travel plans go awry.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Transavia isn’t necessarily responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. At times, things happen that the airline can’t control, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.
For example, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an emergency at the airport, or an air traffic control strike, Transavia cannot be held accountable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.
When these events take place, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
