Flight delays and cancelations can throw your plans off. Luckily, you can claim compensation under EC 261 if you’re traveling in the EU on Transavia France. The issue has to be in their control, and here’s all you need to know to see if you’re eligible to receive up to €600.
What are Your Passengers Rights with Transavia France?
EU 261 protects your rights, regardless of the airline that you’re traveling on, as long as you’re in the European Union or meet other qualifying circumstances. Depending on the circumstances of your delay or cancellation, you have the right to a refund, rerouting, and care, including meals, accommodation, and more.
Flight Delay Compensation
When your flight is delayed more than two hours, you are entitled to basic care, including meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation and transportation (where applicable), and access to communication. If your delay is three hours or more, you can also request reimbursement and transportation to your point of origin.
You are also entitled to compensation, which can be paid as a non-fundable transportation voucher or refundable voucher.
- Flights up to 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400
- Flights over 3,500 km: €600
Flight Cancellation Compensation
You may be entitled to additional compensation if you were notified of the cancellation less than two weeks before the departure and your new arrival and departure times are significantly different than your original times.
You’ll need to contact customer service to receive your compensation, which can be issued as non-refundable or refundable vouchers.
- Flights up to 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400
- Flights over 3,500 km: €600
The amount may vary based on the type of compensation you request, and you might get a better value when you choose their transportation credit.

Delays
- If your flight is delayed, take note of your original departure time, the date of which you were notified, and any other information that is relevant.

Transavia France Refund Policy
You can receive compensation under EC 261 and a full or partial refund when you are travelling on Transavia France. These are not mutually exclusive, but you do have to file a claim for both to get started. The amount you will receive under EC 261 depends on the length of your delay, time of notification for cancellation, flight length, and other factors.
The amount you can get refunded depends on Transavia France policy and the leg of your flight. You are eligible to claim both, even if you get a full refund for your original Transavia France flight.
