Air France-KLM's low cost subsidiary Transavia, which currently serves the Croatian, Slovenian, Macedonian and Montenegrin markets in the former Yugoslavia, has introduced a new ticket resale scheme designed to give passengers more flexibility when travel plans change. Launched in July, the initiative allows customers to list unwanted tickets directly on Transavia’s website or app, up to an hour before departure. If the seat is resold, the original ticket holder is guaranteed a refund of the airport taxes, with the possibility of receiving up to half of the original fare. Refunds are issued securely through the same payment method used for the booking. All tickets are eligible for resale, except those purchased within twelve hours of departure or within 72 hours of arrival. Passengers can also choose to resell just one leg of a journey or the entire booking.

The resale process mirrors a similar platform already offered by France’s rail operator SNCF. Transavia illustrated the benefits with the example of a Paris - Faro flight, where three tickets worth 633 euros were refunded 316.50 euros after being successfully resold twenty days before departure.
