Flight compensation Air France:
Brive — London

Refund and compensation Air France: route Brive to London

If your trip departing from Brive-La Roche Airport and arriving at London City Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Brive-La Roche Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 727 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.

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

How to know if the flight Air France Brive - London is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Brive, 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 London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brive 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.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Air France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air France for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Brive shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BVE-LCY trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air France?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air France boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Brive-La Roche Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air France. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Air France flight from Brive can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air France will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
