Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Eindhoven — Lisbon

How to be compensated by Transavia Holland on the Eindhoven (EIN) - Lisbon (LIS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia Holland did not respect its scheduled times for your Eindhoven - Lisbon flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 804 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Eindhoven - Lisbon is eligible?

For an Transavia Holland flight from Eindhoven to Lisbon, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia Holland sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Eindhoven Airport, the 400 € 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 Lisbon.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

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

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?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Eindhoven Airport airport, Transavia Holland is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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

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 - Lisbon line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Transavia Holland will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
