Flight compensation Air Transat:
Rome — Toronto

Get your Air Transat flight compensation for the route Rome - Toronto

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Transat did not respect its scheduled times for your Rome - Toronto flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 086 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Transat Rome - Toronto is eligible?

The compensation for flight FCO-YYZ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Transat FCO-YYZ flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rome.

What are the conditions for Air Transat to compensate you?

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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air Transat staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport 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 Rome 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 Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Air Transat must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Air Transat?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Lester B. Pearson International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Air Transat.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Air Transat to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Rome - Toronto 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?

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Transat is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 600 €.

For your 600 €, don't compromise with Air Transat without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Rome.
