Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Amsterdam — Arrecife

Get your Transavia Holland flight compensation for the route Amsterdam - Arrecife

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with Transavia Holland to Arrecife didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 006 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Transavia Holland 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 Holland Amsterdam - Arrecife is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lanzarote Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia Holland owes you 400 €.

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

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Transavia Holland 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 Amsterdam airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Transavia Holland must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia Holland?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Lanzarote Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Transavia Holland website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Transavia Holland. An expert can reduce this time by half.

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.

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.
