Flight compensation Transavia France:
Lyon — Marrakech

Process: claim for Transavia France flight from Lyon to Marrakech

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Transavia France didn't honour its scheduled times for your Lyon - Marrakech flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 934 km, Transavia France is held to a payout requirement 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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Transavia France from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Lyon - Marrakech is eligible?

The indemnity for LYS-RAK is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. On this medium-haul distance, delays are frequent and often compensable.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Lyon without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 400€ payout.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marrakech.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lyon 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

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