Obtaining 250€ has never been easier thanks to the technology between recovery services and Air France's databases.

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

Air France's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

Refuse to allow Air France to retain the {money|250€} that is legally owed to you. The longer you wait without action is a win for {the airline|Air France} and time lost for you.
