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

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

  • Arrival airport: Santorini Airport (JTR)
  • Flight distance: 2 855 km (~3h34)

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Manchester, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Transavia France to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Transavia France systems.
