Flight compensation Transavia France:
London — Venice

Procedure: Transavia France flight compensation from London to Venice

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 117 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 250 €?

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
