Flight compensation Transavia France:
Glasgow — Arrecife

Refund and compensation Transavia France: route Glasgow to Arrecife

If your trip departing from Glasgow International Airport and arriving at Lanzarote Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Glasgow International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 081 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Transavia France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Glasgow International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Glasgow - Arrecife is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Glasgow and Arrecife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 3 081 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Arrecife.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Glasgow 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Lanzarote Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Transavia France for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Glasgow International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia France?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Transavia France boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Glasgow International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Transavia France customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Glasgow - Arrecife section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Transavia France is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Transavia France is often more striking.
