Claim and compensation for flight Air France Ajaccio - Lyon

Your claim for compensation for the Air France flight from Ajaccio to Lyon deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Ajaccio, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 517 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

How to know if the flight Air France Ajaccio - Lyon is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Ajaccio and Lyon entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Lyon.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
