Flight compensation Transavia France:
Tenerife — Birmingham

How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Tenerife (TFS) - Birmingham (BHX) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 978 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Transavia France to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Tenerife - Birmingham is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Tenerife South Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

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 Tenerife South Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Transavia France has no control.

What are your rights at Tenerife 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 Tenerife South Airport airport, Transavia France is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Tenerife South Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Transavia France will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
