Flight compensation Transavia France:
Lisbon — Nantes

How to claim your money from Transavia France on Lisbon (LIS) → Nantes (NTE)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Transavia France didn't honour its scheduled times for your Lisbon - Nantes flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 1 113 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Transavia France to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Transavia France from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Lisbon - Nantes is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Nantes Atlantique Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Transavia France must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Transavia France segment Lisbon-Nantes causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

The principle is clear: if Transavia France's staff stop work, it is a risk that {the airline|Transavia France} should have anticipated. Therefore, {your compensation|the 250€} remains owed.

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's Transavia France's employees}, {you're entitled to 250€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Transavia France is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

Remember to request a delay certificate from Transavia France staff at Lisbon Portela Airport. This document is crucial for your claim if you need to prove the delay.
