How to be compensated by Transavia France on the Tenerife (TFS) - Glasgow (GLA) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 242 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Transavia France to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Glasgow International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Tenerife South 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.

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.
