Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Amsterdam — Villafranca

How to be compensated by Transavia Holland on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Villafranca (VRN) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 889 km of flight, the company Transavia Holland is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Holland Amsterdam - Villafranca is eligible?

The compensation for flight AMS-VRN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia Holland sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Transavia Holland crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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 250 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.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
