Flight compensation Air France:
Bergerac — Exeter

Get your Air France flight compensation for the route Bergerac - Exeter

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 720 km of flight, the company Air France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Air France Bergerac - Exeter is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Air France EGC-EXT flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Bergerac.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Exeter.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bergerac airport.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Bergerac - Exeter flight.

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