Flight compensation Transavia France:
Glasgow — Malaga

How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Glasgow (GLA) - Malaga (AGP) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Glasgow and Malaga with Transavia France? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 135 km of flight, the company Transavia France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Transavia France flight from Glasgow to Malaga, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Glasgow International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Malaga.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Glasgow - Malaga trip is due to an internal strike within Transavia France, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Transavia France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Glasgow International Airport, Transavia France must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Glasgow International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
