Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Heraklion — Rotterdam

Claim and compensation for flight Transavia Holland Heraklion - Rotterdam

Your claim for compensation for the Transavia Holland flight from Heraklion to Rotterdam deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 472 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.

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 Heraklion - Rotterdam is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Heraklion and Rotterdam entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Heraklion, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rotterdam.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Heraklion 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Transavia Holland staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Transavia Holland for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Heraklion shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your HER-RTM trip.

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

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

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Transavia Holland to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Heraklion - Rotterdam section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Transavia Holland should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Transavia Holland without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Heraklion.
