Procedure: Transavia France flight compensation from Palma de Mallorca to Doncaster, Sheffield

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

  • Flight distance: 1 575 km (~1h58)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
