Procedure: Transavia Holland flight compensation from Rhodos to Amsterdam

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 541 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Transavia Holland to pay you financial compensation.

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: Diagoras Airport (RHO)
  • Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Flight distance: 2 541 km (~3h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Rhodos - Amsterdam is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia Holland owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Diagoras Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

Don't be fooled by Transavia Holland's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Diagoras Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Transavia Holland has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Transavia Holland must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rhodos.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Diagoras Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Transavia Holland.

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
