Flight compensation Air France:
Brussels — Nantes

Refund and compensation Air France: route Brussels to Nantes

If your trip departing from Brussels Airport and arriving at Nantes Atlantique Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Brussels and Nantes (609 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air France.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Brussels Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air France Brussels - Nantes is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air France offers you a voucher for your Brussels - Nantes flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Nantes Atlantique Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Brussels Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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