Flight compensation Transavia France:

Get your Transavia France flight compensation for the route London - Malaga

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia France did not respect its scheduled times for your London - Malaga flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 645 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malaga airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia France owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from London Gatwick 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 Malaga.
• 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

If your Transavia France flight from London Gatwick Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at London Gatwick Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at London 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 London Gatwick Airport, Transavia France must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at London Gatwick Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia France?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Malaga airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Transavia France.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the LGW-AGP line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Transavia France's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the London - Malaga section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Transavia France is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Transavia France is often more striking.
