The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation
If your Air France flight from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Atlanta airport in case of prolonged wait?

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Air France to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
Recovering 600 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Air France systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
