Steps: compensation for Transavia Holland flight from Istanbul to Eindhoven

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Transavia Holland failed to meet its timetable for your Istanbul → Eindhoven flight, EU law backs you up.

Whether you paid €50 or €500, the compensation remains the same: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 2 169 km} matters, not the ticket price. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.

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: Istanbul (SAW)
  • Arrival airport: Eindhoven Airport (EIN)
  • Flight distance: 2 169 km (~2h43)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Unlike what {many think|Transavia Holland might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

Whether your Transavia Holland flight Istanbul→Eindhoven was cancelled or you were bumped, the 400€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Istanbul without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 400€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Eindhoven.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Istanbul, 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 by Transavia Holland's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not payable due to an external strike at Istanbul, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of Transavia Holland. Never forget this.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Transavia Holland must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Istanbul.

Don't hesitate to request this assistance at {the airline's|Transavia Holland's} counter. If refused and you advance costs for accommodation at Istanbul, save your invoices carefully for reimbursement.
