How Transavia handles compensation claims

Claiming directly with Transavia

Transavia only accepts EU261 claims through its own web form. Keep a copy of everything you submit — you will need it if your claim is rejected.

Tomo checks your flight for free, backs the claim with objective METAR weather data and escalates to legal action when needed. You only pay if we win.

When does Transavia owe you compensation?

EU Regulation 261/2004 covers every Transavia flight departing from an EU airport, and flights into the EU on an EU carrier. If a delay makes you arrive 3 hours or later at your final destination, or your flight was cancelled less than 14 days in advance, you are entitled to €250 to €600 — based on flight distance, not your ticket price.

A missed connection within a single booking counts too: what matters is the total delay at your final destination. And your claim does not expire quickly — in the Netherlands you can claim up to 2 years after the flight date.

When does Transavia not have to pay?

Compensation is only waived in ‘extraordinary circumstances’ — think extreme weather, air traffic control strikes or closed airspace. A technical fault or a strike by the airline's own staff usually does not qualify, according to the courts.

Airlines use the weather excuse more often than is justified. That is why Tomo backs every claim with METAR weather data from the airport itself: an objective test of whether Transavia's excuse holds up.

How to claim against Transavia with Tomo

Enter your flight number and date — we automatically pull the flight data and the weather, and you instantly see whether your claim is viable and what it is worth.

We file the claim with Transavia, handle the back-and-forth and escalate to court proceedings when needed. No win, no fee: we only charge when you get paid.

Transavia flight cancelled? These are your rights

When your flight is cancelled, Transavia must immediately offer you a choice: re-routing on an alternative flight, or a full refund within 7 days. That choice is your legal right, not a favour — and it is separate from compensation. Was the cancellation announced less than 14 days before departure? Then you are often owed €250, €400 or €600 compensation per passenger on top, unless the replacement flight gets you there at close to the original times.

Was your flight cancelled today? Check the live board above — Transavia flights cancelled today appear on it straight away, with an indication of the amount. Is your flight on there, or did you fly earlier? The free claim check gives you your answer in 2 minutes: claimable or not, and how much.

Is Transavia saying the cancellation was down to the weather? That excuse only holds if the weather made the flight objectively impossible. We test every weather rejection against the official METAR weather data from the airport itself — so you see in black and white whether Transavia's story stands up.

The Transavia cancellation wave of summer 2026: you can still claim

In June 2026, Transavia scrapped a wave of flights in a short space of time, right in the middle of the summer season. Thousands of travellers saw their holiday flight cancelled and the story was all over the news. Many of those affected got their money back — but compensation is a separate right, and most have yet to collect it.

It is not too late. In the Netherlands an EU261 claim only becomes time-barred after 2 years: for the June 2026 flights you can still claim until June 2028. If you heard about the cancellation less than 14 days in advance, €250 to €600 per passenger is at stake — on top of any refund. Enter your flight number and date in the free check; we pull up the flight data for you, even from months ago.

Typically Transavia: when rebooking takes days instead of hours

Transavia flies mainly to holiday destinations, often with just a few flights per week on a route. If your flight is cancelled, there is rarely an alternative the same day — with Transavia, rebooking regularly means waiting days rather than hours, especially in high season.

That is precisely when your rights stack up. On top of the €250 to €600 compensation, Transavia must look after you while you wait: meals, drinks, hotel nights where needed and the transport to get there. If you pay those costs yourself, keep every receipt — care expenses are reclaimed separately, on top of the compensation. We include them in the same claim.

Frequently asked questions

How much compensation does Transavia have to pay?

€250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 up to 3,500 km and €600 beyond that. The amount depends on flight distance and your arrival delay, not on your ticket price.

How long can I still claim for a Transavia flight?

In the Netherlands up to 2 years after the flight date; other EU countries have different limitation periods. The sooner you claim, the easier it is to gather the evidence.

My Transavia claim was rejected because of the weather. Is that right?

Not necessarily. Weather is only a valid excuse if it objectively made the flight impossible. Tomo tests the excuse against METAR weather data from the airport — a significant share of weather rejections does not hold up.

What does it cost to claim against Transavia through Tomo?

Nothing upfront. We work no win, no fee: only when Transavia pays out do we deduct our fee. No hidden costs, no subscription.

Do I get compensation if Transavia rebooked me?

Often, yes. With a cancellation your arrival time on the rebooked flight is what counts: if you arrive 2 hours or later than planned, you usually keep the right to (part of) the compensation.

My Transavia flight was cancelled — do I get compensation?

Often, yes. If you were told less than 14 days before departure and the replacement flight did not get you there at close to the original times, Transavia owes you €250 to €600 per passenger — unless there genuinely were extraordinary circumstances. Your right to re-routing or a refund within 7 days always stands alongside that.

What should I do first?

First have Transavia rebook or refund you — do not accept a voucher if you would rather have cash; a voucher is only valid with your consent. Keep your boarding pass, the cancellation email and receipts for food, hotels and transport. Then run the free claim check: within 2 minutes you will know whether there is compensation in it too.
