Refund and compensation VOLOTEA Airways: route Bordeaux to Strasbourg

The BOD - SXB route operated by VOLOTEA Airways experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Bordeaux, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 758 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if VOLOTEA Airways is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Bordeaux, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight VOLOTEA Airways Bordeaux - Strasbourg is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if VOLOTEA Airways offers you a voucher for your Bordeaux - Strasbourg flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

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

What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation

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

A strike by weather services at Bordeaux or European air traffic control is an external cause over which VOLOTEA Airways has no control.

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

If Bordeaux airport becomes your temporary residence because of VOLOTEA Airways, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Bordeaux shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BOD-SXB trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from VOLOTEA Airways?

For your Bordeaux - Strasbourg trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by VOLOTEA Airways staff at the Bordeaux counter during the incident.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Bordeaux to Strasbourg Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company VOLOTEA Airways will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
