Flight compensation Air France:
Miami — Paris

Refund and compensation Air France: route Miami to Paris

Your claim for compensation for the Air France flight from Miami to Paris deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Miami International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 7 371 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Miami International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Miami and Paris entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 7 371 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• 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.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Miami airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

A work stoppage of Air France crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

A strike by weather services at Miami International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air France has no control.

What are your rights at Miami airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Air France for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Miami shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MIA-CDG trip.
