Flight compensation Transavia France:
Venice — Lille

Refund and compensation Transavia France: route Venice to Lille

If your trip departing from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport and arriving at Lille-Lesquin Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 888 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Transavia France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Venice - Lille is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Lille. If Transavia France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Lille-Lesquin Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Venice, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Lille.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Venice 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Venice - Lille trip is due to an internal strike within Transavia France, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Venice, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Transavia France.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Transavia France?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Transavia France boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Venice to Lille-Lesquin Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Transavia France flight from Venice can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Transavia France's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
