Flight compensation Transavia France:
Fuerteventura — London

File your refund for Transavia France Fuerteventura → London

The stress of a cancellation at Fuerteventura Airport towards London with Transavia France gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Fuerteventura Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 2 770 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

To check if your flight between Fuerteventura and London is eligible for a payout, the main criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at London Gatwick Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Even if Transavia France reroutes you, the 400€ compensation still applies if the arrival at London exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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