How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Alicante (ALC) - East Midlands (EMA) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia France did not respect its scheduled times for your Alicante - East Midlands flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 619 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Alicante International Airport (ALC)
  • Arrival airport: East Midlands Airport (EMA)
  • Flight distance: 1 619 km (~2h01)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Transavia France Alicante - East Midlands is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at East Midlands Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia France owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Alicante International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Alicante airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Alicante, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Alicante - East Midlands flight.

What are your rights at Alicante 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 Alicante International Airport, Transavia France must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Alicante International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Transavia France.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia France?

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Alicante - East Midlands 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?
