Flight compensation Air Caraïbes:
Pointe-a-pitre — Paris

Claim and compensation for flight Air Caraïbes Pointe-a-pitre - Paris

If your trip departing from Pointe-a-pitre and arriving at Paris-Orly Airport operated by Air Caraïbes was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 6 752 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Caraïbes.

How to know if the flight Air Caraïbes Pointe-a-pitre - Paris is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Caraïbes offers you a voucher for your Pointe-a-pitre - Paris flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 6 752 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Caraïbes to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Caraïbes compensation

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

A strike by weather services at Pointe-a-pitre or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Caraïbes has no control.

What are your rights at Pointe-a-pitre airport in case of prolonged wait?
