Flight compensation Transavia France:
Palma de Mallorca — Edinburgh

Legal right to compensation: Transavia France flight between Palma de Mallorca and Edinburgh

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 878 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Transavia France.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Palma de Mallorca - Edinburgh is eligible?

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