Procedure: Transavia France flight compensation from Paphos to London

From Paphos International Airport airport, your departure with Transavia France to London didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 186 km of flight, the company Transavia France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

  • Flight distance: 3 186 km (~3h59)
  • 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.
