Flight compensation Transavia France:
Glasgow — Alicante

Claim up to 400€ for Transavia France flight Glasgow - Alicante

The endless wait at Glasgow International Airport towards Alicante with Transavia France doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Glasgow International Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 1 977 km determines the amount of your compensation. 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Transavia France.
