Air France passengers Cayenne-Paris: your guide to get compensated

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

Given the route between Cayenne and Paris (7 086 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Air France. This intercontinental route qualifies for the highest tier.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 by no means a commercial courtesy from Air France, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 600€: {delay exceeds 3h at Paris|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Air France is responsible for|the fault lies with} Air France.

An class change doesn't change your right to 600€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The maximum tier applies regardless of cabin class.

• 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.
