Flight compensation Air Transat:
Frankfurt — Calgary

Get your Air Transat flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Calgary

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Frankfurt and Calgary with Air Transat? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 7 528 km of flight, the company Air Transat is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Air Transat Frankfurt - Calgary is eligible?

For an Air Transat flight from Frankfurt to Calgary, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Transat FRA-YYC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Frankfurt.

What are the conditions for Air Transat to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Calgary.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Frankfurt airport.

The impact of a strike on your Air Transat compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Frankfurt - Calgary trip is due to an internal strike within Air Transat, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Frankfurt am Main International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Transat has no control.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
