  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 1 774 km (~2h13)

This statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Faro - London is eligible?

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at London|time the doors open at London Stansted Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 400€}.

The indemnity also covers overbooking cases. If Transavia France overbooked the flight and you were left behind at Faro Airport, the 400€ payout is owed by right.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

A work stoppage by Transavia France's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to ground services, Transavia France is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Transavia France is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Faro Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

If you advanced money for a hotel at Faro Airport due to Transavia France's disruption, compile all invoices. You can request reimbursement of these costs independently of the 400€ compensation.

Avoid the tedious paperwork on Transavia France's website. Choose a specialist platform to secure your 400€ indemnity. For a medium-haul, the 400€ stake fully justifies professional help.

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

Stay determined despite Transavia France's non-response. It's a calculated strategy to make you abandon. Statistics show that the majority of passengers drop their claim before resolution.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
