Claim and compensation for flight Transavia France Paris - Athens

If your trip departing from Paris-Orly Airport and arriving at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Paris-Orly Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 105 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Arrival airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Flight distance: 2 105 km (~2h38)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Did you know? Even if Transavia France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Paris-Orly Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Paris - Athens is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Transavia France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Athens.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paris airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

If your Transavia France flight from Paris-Orly Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Paris-Orly Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Paris 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.

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ORY-ATH trip.

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

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

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