Flight compensation Air France:
Lome — Paris

How to be compensated by Air France on the Lome (LFW) - Paris (CDG) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air France did not respect its scheduled times for your Lome - Paris flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 4 766 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air France to pay you financial compensation.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
