Flight compensation Air Transat:
Malaga — Montreal

Get your Air Transat flight compensation for the route Malaga - Montreal

From Malaga airport, your departure with Air Transat to Montreal didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 5 705 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Transat to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Air Transat Malaga - Montreal is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Transat owes you 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Transat AGP-YUL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Malaga.

What are the conditions for Air Transat to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Montreal.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malaga airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Transat (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Transat compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Malaga airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Malaga airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malaga, Air Transat must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Malaga terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air Transat.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Malaga - Montreal section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
