Flights to Dublin, Newcastle, Copenhagen, Manchester, and Rome are being operated on a dry lease basis (cockpit and cabin crew are provided by KLM) on HV aircraft for the winter season (and until 20/12 on the Barcelona route).

Flights operated for KLM by Transavia on either a wet- or dry-lease basis are, effectively, KLM flights. As such, it is entirely normal that you can handle these bookings exactly as you would any other KLM flight.

This thread is for HV flights - whether booked under a KL flightcode or not. Your flight doesn't count as a Transavia flight.
