How does the compensation for delayed flights work?
Under European Union (EU) regulations, airlines must pay compensation for canceled or heavily delayed flights. The amount to which the traveler is entitled depends on the flight booked and the length of the delay.
The flight, regardless of the airline, must take off or land at an EU airport and be operated by a European airline. The term “EU airport” also includes Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. This is the case of the Air France airline.
The flight must have been delayed by at least two hours in order to be eligible for compensation. The legal text that describes these rights is European Regulation 261/2004.
The compensation amounts range from 250 to 600 € depending on the length of the delay and the planned flight distance.
In case of denied boarding or cancellation of flight:
These practices remain legal and strictly regulated, in fact, it is the European Regulation No. 261/2004 that sets the companies, the conditions of overbooking within the EU.
Assistance in case of overbooking
When a passenger agrees to be reprogrammed on a subsequent flight, Air France plans several arrangements for the comfort of its customers.
• A catering service including meals and refreshments. The composition and quantity will depend on the waiting time of the next flight.
• 1 night hotel and transfers, if the next flight is scheduled for the next day.
• A pre-paid phone card or the possibility of sending 2 faxes or 2 e-mails.
Compensation in the context of overbooking
If the opportunity arises and in addition to reimbursement, Air France plans to compensate any passenger who gives up boarding due to overbooking. The amount is defined beforehand according to the kilometric distance of the planned trip.
• 250 € for a course not exceeding 1500 km
• 400 € for a course between 1500 and 3500 km
• 600 € for a course beyond 3500 km
Warning, these rules are valid for a trip within the EU and carried out by a European air carrier. As long as you are overbooked outside this area, international law applies.
