Flight compensation Air France:
Mumbai — Paris

How to be compensated by Air France on the Mumbai (BOM) - Paris (CDG) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 6 994 km of flight, the company Air France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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

The compensation for flight BOM-CDG is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air France BOM-CDG flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Mumbai.

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 Mumbai 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

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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Mumbai - Paris flight.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air France must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Mumbai.
