How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Paris (ORY) - Faro (FAO) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia France did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Faro flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 548 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Faro Airport (FAO)
  • Flight distance: 1 548 km (~1h56)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Transavia France flight from Paris to Faro, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Transavia France ORY-FAO flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Paris.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Faro.
  • 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

Don't be fooled by Transavia France's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Paris-Orly Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Transavia France has no control.

What are your rights at Paris airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Paris-Orly Airport airport, Transavia France is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Paris-Orly Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Transavia France.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Faro Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Transavia France flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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 Paris can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Paris - Faro line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Transavia France convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
