About Transavia

Transavia (IATA: HV) is a Dutch and French low-cost airline operating as the budget subsidiary brand of the Air France-KLM Group. It runs as two linked entities — Transavia Netherlands, based at Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) with secondary bases at Rotterdam and Eindhoven, and Transavia France, based at Paris Orly (ORY) — bringing low-fare travel to leisure destinations across Europe and the Mediterranean.

As part of the Air France-KLM Group, Transavia flights participate in the group's Flying Blue frequent flyer program, letting passengers earn and redeem miles alongside Air France and KLM. Transavia uses an unbundled, à la carte low-cost pricing model — seats and checked baggage are paid add-ons — keeping base fares competitive for budget-conscious travelers. FareOptic compares Transavia fares across all routes to help you find the lowest HV ticket price.
