Your claim for compensation for the Air France flight from Havana to Paris deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 7 744 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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.

- Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
- Flight distance: 7 744 km (~9h41)

How to know if the flight Air France Havana - Paris is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air France offers you a voucher for your Havana - Paris flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air France staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Havana airport in case of prolonged wait?
