Claim and compensation for flight Transavia Holland Eindhoven - Alicante

If your trip departing from Eindhoven Airport and arriving at Alicante International Airport operated by Transavia Holland was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 536 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Eindhoven Airport (EIN)
  • Arrival airport: Alicante International Airport (ALC)
  • Flight distance: 1 536 km (~1h55)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Transavia Holland, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Transavia Holland Eindhoven - Alicante is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Transavia Holland offers you a voucher for your Eindhoven - Alicante flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Eindhoven, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Eindhoven, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Transavia Holland.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Eindhoven 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.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Eindhoven remains valid. The hotel is due if Transavia Holland offsets your flight by one night.

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

Starting a procedure against Transavia Holland for a flight from Eindhoven to Alicante can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight EIN-ALC to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Transavia Holland on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Eindhoven - Alicante line.

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.
