Flight compensation Air France:
Bordeaux — Paris

Complete guide: Air France compensation Bordeaux - Paris

You travelled with Air France from Bordeaux to Paris and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Bordeaux and Paris (527 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Air France. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

This is not a goodwill gesture from Air France, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air France offers you a travel credit for your Bordeaux → Paris flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Bordeaux, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Bordeaux airport.
