Claim and compensation for flight Transavia France Manchester - Catania
Your claim for compensation for the Transavia France flight from Manchester to Catania deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 213 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Manchester Airport (MAN)
- Arrival airport: Catania / Fontanarossa Airport (CTA)
- Flight distance: 2 213 km (~2h46)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Transavia France, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Transavia France Manchester - Catania is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Catania. If Transavia France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
