Transavia Airlines Flight Change Policy

Transavia Airlines, a Dutch low-cost carrier, offers flexibility for passengers to modify their bookings, with rules and fees varying by fare type and timing. Below is an overview of the flight change policy based on available information.

Online Changes

Passengers who booked through the Transavia website or mobile app can modify bookings via the "My Transavia" section by logging into their account and entering their booking reference and surname. Changes include flight date, time, or passenger details, and can be made up to a couple of hours before departure, subject to availability and fare rules. A new booking confirmation is sent upon completion.

Third-Party Bookings

For tickets purchased through travel agents or third-party platforms, passengers must contact the issuing agent to request changes, as direct modifications through Transavia are not permitted. For bookings made through KLM, changes must be handled via the KLM Service Centre.

Fare Types and Change Rules

Transavia offers four fare types—Basic, Smart, Plus, and Max—along with an optional Flex add-on, each with distinct change policies:

  • Basic and Smart: Changes incur a fee per person per flight, plus any fare difference.
  • Plus: Changes made more than a couple of weeks before departure require only the fare difference; within this period, a fee applies plus any fare difference.
  • Max: Changes up to a couple of hours before departure require only the fare difference, with no change fee.
  • Flex Add-On: For an additional cost per person per single flight, unlimited changes to date or time are allowed up to a year after booking without a change fee, only the fare difference, subject to availability. For flights to or from the Netherlands or Belgium, changes are permitted up to half a day before departure; for flights to or from France, up to a couple of hours before departure.
Change Fees

Changes made within a day of booking are free if the flight is at least a day away. Beyond this period, Basic and Smart fares incur a change fee per seat per flight, with a higher fee for changes made via the Service Centre. Plus fares incur a fee for changes within a couple of weeks of departure. Max fares and Flex add-on bookings are exempt from change fees but require fare differences if the new ticket is more expensive. Additional service charges apply for changes made via the Service Centre or airport counters.

Fare Differences

If the new flight is more expensive, passengers must pay the fare difference in addition to any change fee. No refund is provided if the new fare is lower.

Time Limits

Changes can be made up to a couple of hours before departure for most fares, except for flights with special luggage, pets, or medical services, which require changes via the Service Centre up to a day before departure. No changes are permitted after check-in.

Destination Changes

Changes to the origin or destination are allowed only via the Service Centre up to a day before departure, subject to availability, a change fee, and fare differences. The Flex add-on does not cover destination changes, which require the same departure and destination airports.

Name Changes

One free change per passenger is allowed for first name, surname, date of birth, or gender. Additional changes or name transfers incur a fee per one-way flight, plus any fare difference if the new ticket is more expensive. Minor spelling corrections are free up to a couple of hours before departure via the Service Centre. Changes are not permitted within a couple of hours of departure, after check-in, or if the outbound flight of a round-trip has already departed.

Airline-Initiated Changes

If Transavia cancels or significantly delays a flight (more than a few hours), passengers can rebook on another Transavia flight or a partner airline within the Air France KLM group, subject to availability, or request a full refund or a voucher valid for a year. Refunds are processed within a week, and passengers who wish to keep their return flight must contact the Service Centre within a day to avoid automatic cancellation.

How to Change Your Flight

Passengers can modify bookings through the following methods:

  • Online: Access "My Transavia" on the website or app, enter booking details, select new flight options, and pay any applicable fees.
  • Offline: Contact the Transavia Service Centre by phone, social media, or email, or visit an airport ticket counter, noting additional service charges may apply.
Additional Notes
  • Passengers should review fare rules at booking, as conditions vary by fare type and route.
  • Changes to bookings with special requests, such as pets or medical services, must be made via the Service Centre.
  • Flying Blue miles or Experience Points may be earned based on fare type and flight distance.
  • For codeshare or interline flights, changes must align with the operating carrier’s policies.
