"never recommend Transavia"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Amsterdam to Reykjavik. The flight was delayed on the outbound journey, the plane was not clean, and some cabin staff were unprofessional. On the return flight, the flight was 2 hours 20 minutes delayed. We were offered 5 euros to buy a meal, but that only buys a cola? I would never recommend Transavia to people.

"overall service is poor"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Chania to Amsterdam. This is by far the worst airline I have ever travelled with. When you want to check in online a day before, it is not possible to select enough seats because they want to reserve seats for people who want to check in at the airport. Arriving at the airport I asked if it was possible to get 2 seats so the person I am travelling with could sit next to me ... the person at the check in desk did not listen so I had to explain myself multiple times, just to hear that it was not possible. Note: there were still many people behind us who needed to check in so they did not have a seat yet. Furthermore the flight was delayed because they lost 4 pieces of luggage? The overall service is poor, I would recommend Ryanair over Transavia.

"Crew was pleasant"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Heraklion to Eindhoven. Flight landed on time. Seats are very cramped on the newer airplanes of Transavia. No IFE on board. Crew was pleasant and correct. Prices for food and drinks weer average.

"cabin crew were very good"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Eindhoven to Heraklion. Our flight from Heraklion was delayed by 6 hours due to a technical problem with the computer. Transavia promised us to compensate us within 2 weeks after filing a compensation report so thats great! Flight was OK, legroom was poor, but cabin crew were very good. Also the sandwich I bought was good and for 4 euros well priced.

"book with a different airline"

(United States)

Not Verified | Pisa to Amsterdam. I do not recommend this airline. After having a three hour delay for my flight over to the Netherlands I didn't love the airline. After they cancelled our flight back to Pisa merely hours before we were supposed to board and leave without reason. When asked we were met with vague scrambled explanations and told there was no other option to fly back that day. Not only that, but they said they couldn't do anything for at least 48 hours! As a student who's studying abroad and needed to get back at least by Monday afternoon for class (which doesn't allow excused absences because of travel issues like most programs) I was very stressed. They finally after much arguing, to a representative who didn't even work for Transavia we were able to get a flight for Monday night .. which was delayed also. They did provide us with meal vouchers, though not enough to cover all of the meals we needed, and a nice hotel we still had to spend money on transportation to a different airport to fly home. This rant just barely covers what we had to deal with while traveling. I will be calling to get a refund. Definitely book with a different airline.

"check-in policy is ridiculous"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Verona to Amsterdam. One-and-a-half-hour delay on the outbound flight and three-hour delay on the return flight. On top of that, the online check-in policy is ridiculous: there are only a fixed number of free seats. When those are reserved, either you pay 10€ for a seat, or you "conveniently" check-in at the airport desk. This experience with this company counts twice for me: first and last. Ryanair feels like Emirates compared to Transavia.

"denying the cancellation"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Paris to Seville. I purchased two tickets for travel in September from JUSTFLY, where no-penalty 24-hour cancellation was clearly stated. Unfortunately when I then had to cancel, neither JUSTFLY nor Transavia honored the policy. JUSTFLY told me I had to contact the airline, but no one at JUSTFLY had the Transavia phone number; on the Transavia website it said I had to ask the booking agent for authorization to cancel. Transavia wrote me denying the cancellation. This is dreadfully deceptive practice.

"such a poor service"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Amsterdam to Heraklion. Both flights were not very good. The food and drinks available were very limited. Some cabin staff could be more friendly. The plane was very warm - the air-conditioning was not good. The planes looked old. I also find the cost of Transavia flights very expensive for such a poor service, when compaired to EasyJet.

"Horrendous luggage delivery"

(Belgium)

Trip Verified | Ibiza to Paris Orly. Horrendous luggage delivery at orly airport. 1 hour delay delivery despite plane landing 15 minutes ahead of time. Nobody from Transavia around to inform or manage. Being low cost does not mean Transavia can drop its end to end responsibility. Missing the basics of Customer service.

"never boarded a Transavia plane"

(United States)

Trip Verified | At 1:30 am the day of departure for a 6:30 flight from Orly to Dublin I received an email confirming our flight and saying I could sign in. I tried to do that, but it wouldn’t go through. So I arrived at the Orly airport at 4:00am ready to fly, and when I showed the confirmation of our flight was told “ It’s not your fault. There is no flight to Dublin today. It’s tomorrow. Your boarding pass is correct, but there is no flight. Go to the Transavia counter.” There we were told to call a number to get a refund after 8:00 am. Our phones were not connecting in France, so impossible, and there is no public phone in the airport. And a refund was not what we wanted. We needed a flight to Dublin. So after pleading for help from the Transavia agent she used her personal phone to find us a flight to Dublin that day on AerLingus. We TRULY appreciated her help. Of course this flight cost 5 times what we had paid to Transavia, and also left from Charles DeGaulle airport. So we took a bus there costing an additional €40, and managed to get to our destination in time to spend a night in Dublin and catch a Norwegian flight to the USA the next day. I still have not received any communication from Transavia regarding this change of schedule. It’s like it didn’t happen from their end. That’s not all! As a previous reviewer wrote, the week before our Transavia flight from Dublin to Orly was cancelled due to the controllers strike (understandable) but again no assistance. We ended up flying to Brussels on Ryan Air and trained from there to Paris, once again at great expense. So two for two, and we’ve never boarded a Transavia plane! And getting to refund requires effort on my part. They know I paid and didn’t fly, so why can’t they automatically refund my credit card? Never Again.
