Your Transavia Holland flight from Amsterdam to Lisbon was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 846 km, Transavia Holland is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.
