Check My Transavia Flight →How much can I claim from Transavia?
- 🛫 Short flights (under 1,500 km) — €250
- 🛫 Medium flights (1,500–3,500 km) — €400
- 🛫 Long-haul (over 3,500 km) — €600
Clairo caps its estimate at €400 when both ends of the route are EU/EEA/UK airports, mirroring the intra-Community cap in Article 7(1)(b); it only estimates €600 where one end lies outside that area. Long UK–EU routes sit at the edge of that cap, so treat the figure as an estimate and check the position for your route.
Amsterdam–Faro is ~2,000 km (€400); Amsterdam–Hurghada is ~3,500 km (€400/€600 threshold).
Is Transavia covered by EU261?
Yes. Transavia operates two EU-registered entities — Transavia Netherlands (subsidiary of KLM/Air France-KLM) and Transavia France. Both are covered in full by EU Regulation 261/2004. All flights departing EU/EEA airports on Transavia are covered, as well as flights to EU/EEA airports operated by Transavia.
How much can I claim from Transavia for a flight delay?
EU261 distance bands are €250 for flights under 1,500 km, €400 for qualifying flights from 1,500–3,500 km, and €600 for qualifying flights over 3,500 km. Transavia operates from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Paris Orly, and Eindhoven to Mediterranean, Canary Island, and North African destinations. Check the great-circle distance of your own route to identify the applicable band. Article 7(1)(b) sets €400 for intra-Community flights over 1,500 km, so the €600 band applies only where one end of the route lies outside that area; Clairo treats EU/EEA and UK airports as inside it, and long UK–EU routes sit at the edge of the cap.
Is Transavia Netherlands different from Transavia France for claims?
Legally they are separate companies. Transavia Netherlands flights are claimed against Transavia Airlines CV (Dutch entity). Transavia France flights are claimed against Transavia France SAS (French entity). Both are subject to EU261. Claims against the Dutch entity benefit from the Netherlands Consumer Authority (ACM); French entity claims can go through the DGAC.
Does a holiday or charter-style booking affect EU261 coverage?
A leisure or charter-style booking does not by itself remove EU261 protection. Coverage and compensation depend on the route, operating carrier, delay and disruption circumstances.
How long do I have to claim from Transavia?
Claim deadlines depend on the applicable jurisdiction. Check current official guidance for the route and preserve your booking, submission and disruption evidence promptly.
