Flight compensation Air France:
Aberdeen — Paris

Procedure: Air France flight compensation from Aberdeen to Paris

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 964 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 France Aberdeen - Paris is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air France owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Aberdeen Dyce Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air France 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 Aberdeen airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Aberdeen, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air France.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Aberdeen Dyce Airport, Air France must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Aberdeen Dyce Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Aberdeen - Paris line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air France convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
