      Air Transat Compensation Eligibility

      • When You Are Eligible for Compensation

        You may be entitled to compensation or a refund from Air Transat if any of the following apply:

        - Your flight was delayed by three hours or more on arrival.
        - Your flight was cancelled without sufficient notice.
        - You were denied boarding due to overbooking.
        - You missed a connecting flight and arrived at your final destination three hours or more late.


        Please note that UK Regulation UK261 applies only if your Air Transat flight departed from a UK or EU airport. Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) apply to flights within Canada, as well as flights to or from Canada.

      • When You Are Not Eligible for Compensation

        Some situations are outside Air Transat’s control, including:

        - Severe weather conditions.
        - Airport staff strikes.
        - Air traffic control restrictions.
        - Safety-related technical issues.


        In such cases, compensation is not payable . However, even if you are not entitled to flight delay compensation, Air Transat must still provide a duty of care, which may include meals and refreshments, an alternative flight, or hotel accommodation where required.

      How Much You Can Claim from Air Transat

      • Compensation for Flight Delays or Cancellations

        - CAD 400 for flights delayed 3 to 6 hours.
        - CAD 700 for flights delayed 6 to 9 hours.
        - CAD 1,000 for flights delayed over 9 hours.

      • Denied Boarding Compensation

        -£530 if your replacement flight arrived less than six hours late.
        -£1,060 if the delay was between six and nine hours.
        -£1,410 if the delay was more than nine hours.

      Air Transat Strikes: Compensation for Disrupted Long-Haul Holiday Journeys

      Air Transat is widely used for long-haul leisure travel between Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and winter sun destinations, especially during busy holiday periods. Many passengers rely on the airline for family holidays, transatlantic breaks, and seasonal escape routes from Canada to warmer destinations. Because these journeys often involve overnight flights and tightly timed international itineraries, strike action involving cabin crew, pilots, or technical staff can quickly affect departures, return flights, and connecting travel plans across multiple countries.

      When disruption is caused directly by Air Transat employees on eligible EU and UK routes, passengers may still qualify for compensation under EU Regulation EC261/2004 and UK261 rules where applicable. Depending on the flight distance and final arrival delay, eligible travellers could receive £220, £350, or up to £520. However, disruption linked to airport operations, air traffic control restrictions, severe weather, or security-related incidents is generally considered outside the airline’s control.

      Even during extraordinary disruption, Air Transat must still provide meals, hotel accommodation where necessary, re-routing assistance, and communication support. Skycop helps passengers assess eligibility and pursue compensation claims on a no win, no fee basis.

      Air Transat Compensation for Baggage Issues

      Air Transat is required to assist if your baggage is delayed, lost, or damaged. Under the Montreal Convention and Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), you may be entitled to:

      • A refund of your checked baggage fee.
      • Reimbursement for essential items, such as clothing and toiletries.
      • Claim up to CAD 2,870 if your baggage is lost or damaged.

      Be sure to report the issue as soon as possible and keep all receipts. This will help ensure you do not miss out on a refund or any support you are entitled to receive from Air Transat.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      • Does Air Transat compensate for delayed flights?

        Yes — you can claim compensation from Air Transat for delayed flights if your arrival was three hours or more late and the delay was within Air Transat’s control under the relevant passenger rights rules. In a successful claim, you could receive up to approximately £585 in compensation.

      • Will Air Transat compensate passengers for disrupted long-haul holiday flights?

        Passengers may still qualify for compensation if strike action by Air Transat staff caused a cancellation or major delay on an eligible route. Under EU Regulation EC261/2004 and UK261 rules, compensation may reach £220 for shorter flights, £350 for medium-distance routes, or up to £520 for longer international journeys depending on the final arrival delay. However, disruption related to airport operations, severe weather, or air traffic control restrictions is generally treated as an extraordinary circumstance outside the airline’s control.

      • Do I get compensation if Air Transat cancels my flight?

        You can receive compensation or a refund if your flight was cancelled for reasons within Air Transat’s control and you were not given sufficient notice. In such cases, you may be entitled to a payout under the relevant passenger rights regulations.

      • What Is UK 261 and Does It Apply to Air Transat?

        It is a regulation that protects air passenger rights in cases of flight delays, cancellations, and overbooking. However, it only applies if your Air Transat flight departs from a UK or EU airport.

      • Can I still claim compensation if I accepted a travel voucher?

        Always check the small print to understand your passenger rights. Some vouchers may waive your right to claim compensation or request a refund, depending on the terms and conditions.

      • How long do I have to file a compensation claim with Air Transat?

        You have one year from the date of the flight to submit a claim for compensation or a refund. This time limit applies to Air Transat flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding when the claim is made under Canadian passenger rights rules.
