Flight compensation Air Austral:
Paris — St.-denis

Get your Air Austral flight compensation for the route Paris - St.-denis

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Austral did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - St.-denis flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 9 369 km of flight, the company Air Austral is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Austral Paris - St.-denis is eligible?

For an Air Austral flight from Paris to St.-denis, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Charles de Gaulle International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Air Austral to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Austral compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air Austral staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Austral must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Paris.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
