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.

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Transavia France is often more impactful. Medium-haul cases typically fall under the main civil court.
