Flight compensation Transavia France:
London — Kos

Your entitlement: Transavia France flight from London to Kos

You were due to travel with Transavia France from London to Kos and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

Given the distance between London and Kos (2 679 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Transavia France. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

Good to know? Even if Transavia France is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from London Gatwick Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

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

Be sure to retain your flight records for the Transavia France LGW→KGS flight. They constitute the key proof of your presence on board.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kos.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London 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 rule is simple: if Transavia France's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Transavia France} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 400€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value Transavia France's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 400€}.

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

The digital process of expert partners eliminates paperwork: upload documents, digital signature, and email notifications until payment.

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

Transavia France's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 400€. On medium-haul, airlines often refuse initially to filter claims.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Transavia France is often more effective. Medium-haul cases typically fall under the main civil court.
