Flight compensation Air Algerie:
Lille — Oran

Legal right to compensation: Air Algerie flight between Lille and Oran

Your claim for compensation for the Air Algerie flight from Lille to Oran deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 688 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This is not a commercial gesture from Air Algerie, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air Algerie Lille - Oran is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Oran. If Air Algerie made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Es Senia Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Lille, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Algerie to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Oran.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lille airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Algerie (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Algerie compensation

Don't be fooled by Air Algerie's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Lille-Lesquin Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Algerie has no control.

What are your rights at Lille airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Algerie for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Lille-Lesquin Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
