Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: Reus Air Base (REU)
  • Arrival airport: Manchester Airport (MAN)
  • Flight distance: 1 381 km (~1h44)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Transavia France.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Reus - Manchester is eligible?

To verify if your journey between Reus and Manchester qualifies for compensation, the determining criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Manchester Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Watch out for traps: Transavia France might try to have you sign a waiver. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

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