Legal right: Transavia France flight between London and Gran Canaria

You travelled with Transavia France from London to Gran Canaria and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between London and Gran Canaria (2 964 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Arrival airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Flight distance: 2 964 km (~3h42)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

CE 261/2004 is one of the most robust passenger protection laws globally. Every eligible passenger should taking advantage of it.

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

Be sure to save your boarding pass for the Transavia France STN→LPA flight. They constitute the indispensable proof of your check-in.

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 Gran Canaria.
  • 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

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Transavia France's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

However, if ground handlers at London Stansted Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 400€ are not owed.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Transavia France is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at London Stansted Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

The law is unambiguous: care is never a goodwill gesture from Transavia France. It is a legal obligation enforceable in court.
