Flight compensation Transavia France:
Manchester — Arrecife

Legal right to compensation: Transavia France flight between Manchester and Arrecife

Your claim for compensation for the Transavia France flight from Manchester to Arrecife deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Manchester Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 867 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Transavia France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Manchester Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Manchester - Arrecife is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Manchester and Arrecife entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Transavia France crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Transavia France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Transavia France for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
