Kiev — Paris

How to claim your money from Air France on Kiev (KBP) → Paris (CDG)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Air France didn't honour its scheduled times for your Kiev - Paris flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 2 032 km, Air France is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

How to know if the flight Air France Kiev - Paris is eligible?

The indemnity for KBP-CDG is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. On this medium-haul distance, delays are frequent and often compensable.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kiev airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
