Flight compensation Transavia France:
Birmingham — Funchal

How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Birmingham (BHX) - Funchal (FNC) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia France did not respect its scheduled times for your Birmingham - Funchal 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 2 506 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.

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 Transavia France Birmingham - Funchal is eligible?

For an Transavia France flight from Birmingham to Funchal, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Birmingham International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Transavia France's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Transavia France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Birmingham International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
