Guide: claim for Transavia France flight from Kos to London

Major delay on your Transavia France flight Kos ✈ London? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 2 679 km, Transavia France is held to a payout requirement if boarding is denied.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Transavia France from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at London Gatwick Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia France owes you 400€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Kos Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 400€ indemnity.

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 Kos airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

A strike action by Transavia France's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.
