Get your Transavia France flight compensation for the route Heraklion - Paris

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 384 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Transavia France to pay you financial compensation.

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 Heraklion - Paris is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Transavia France's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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 Heraklion airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.'

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