Compensation for Cancelled or Delayed Air France Flights

Did you have an Air France flight cancelled, a long delay, or problems with your Air France ticket? If so, you may well be entitled to Air France compensation under European legislation EC 261/2004. Air France, the national carrier of France, operates from its Paris Charles de Gaulle hub to over 200 destinations on all continents. If your Air France flight arrived more than 3 hours late, was cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you can claim compensation of up to €600.

👉 Eligibility check is free and takes less than 3 minutes.

In What Situations Can You Receive Compensation for Air France Flights?

You can file a compensation claim if you experienced one of the following situations:

• Air France flight cancelled without at least 14 days' notice

• Delayed Air France flight that arrived at the destination more than 3 hours late

• Air France flight change that affected your journey

• Denied boarding due to overbooking

• Missed connection due to an Air France flight delay

These situations occur frequently with cancelled Air France flights, cancelled Air France routes, or when an Air France flight cancellation occurs for operational reasons.

What Can You Receive if Your Air France Flight Was Cancelled or Delayed?

Depending on the case, you are entitled to one or more of the following options:

• Refund of your Air France plane ticket

• An alternative flight to your final destination

• Cash compensation from Air France under European legislation

Compensation Amount:

• €250 — flights under 1,500 km

• €400 — flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km

• €600 — flights over 3,500 km

If you accepted an alternative flight that arrived only 2–4 hours later, the amount may be reduced by 50%.
