Flight compensation Transavia France:
Birmingham — Arrecife

Claim and compensation for flight Transavia France Birmingham - Arrecife

If your trip departing from Birmingham International Airport and arriving at Lanzarote Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 790 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Birmingham International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Birmingham - Arrecife is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Birmingham, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Lanzarote 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 Birmingham International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Birmingham International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Birmingham remains valid. The hotel is due if Transavia France offsets your flight by one night.

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

Starting a procedure against Transavia France for a flight from Birmingham to Arrecife can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 400 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the BHX-ACE line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Transavia France's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Birmingham - Arrecife 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 first refusal from Transavia France should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Transavia France is often more striking.
