Flight compensation Air France:
Nantes — Milano

Get your Air France flight compensation for the route Nantes - Milano

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 810 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 250 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air France Nantes - Milano is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Nantes Atlantique Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nantes 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

Don't be fooled by Air France's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Nantes Atlantique Airport airport, Air France is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Nantes Atlantique Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air France?

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Air France on your smartphone.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Air France's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
