Flight compensation Transavia France:
Alicante — Glasgow

Legal right to compensation: Transavia France flight between Alicante and Glasgow

The ALC - GLA route operated by Transavia France experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Alicante International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 977 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Transavia France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Alicante International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Alicante - Glasgow is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Alicante and Glasgow entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 977 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Glasgow.
• 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...).
