Flight compensation Transavia France:
Tenerife — Edinburgh

Procedure: Transavia France flight compensation from Tenerife to Edinburgh

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 276 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.

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.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Tenerife - Edinburgh is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Tenerife South Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Transavia France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Transavia France must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Tenerife.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Tenerife South Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
