  • Arrival airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Flight distance: 3 024 km (~3h47)

What are your rights at Manchester 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 Manchester Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

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