Flight compensation Transavia France:
Menorca — Manchester

Refund and compensation Transavia France: route Menorca to Manchester

If your trip departing from Menorca Airport and arriving at Manchester Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Menorca and Manchester (1 578 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Transavia France.

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 Menorca Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

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

Also note that the distance of 1 578 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Menorca Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia France?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Transavia France boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Menorca Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Transavia France. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Transavia France flight from Menorca can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Transavia France's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Transavia France will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
