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

From London Gatwick Airport airport, your departure with Transavia France to Paphos didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 186 km of flight, the company Transavia France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

  • Departure airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Arrival airport: Paphos International Airport (PFO)
  • Flight distance: 3 186 km (~3h59)

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 London - Paphos is eligible?

The compensation for flight LGW-PFO is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paphos.
  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from London, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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.

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