Air France passengers Nouakschott-Paris: your guide to get compensated
If your journey from Nouakchott International Airport to Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.
Don't miss this opportunity: the Air France flight Nouakschott - Paris (3 797 km) qualifies you for 600€ per person under CE 261/2004.
Why are you entitled to 600 €?

- Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
- Flight distance: 3 797 km (~4h45)

This is not a goodwill gesture from Air France, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Air France Nouakschott - Paris is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air France offers you a travel credit for your Nouakschott → Paris flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 600€ provided by law.
In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Nouakschott, the regulation applies in the same way.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation
The principle is clear: if Air France's staff stop work, it is a risk that {the airline|Air France} should have anticipated. Therefore, {your compensation|the 600€} remains owed.
The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's Air France's employees}, {you're entitled to 600€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.
What are your rights at Nouakschott airport in case of prolonged wait?
Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Air France must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Nouakschott. For flights over 3500 km, the assistance obligation begins after 4 hours.
Your involuntary layover at Nouakschott must not cost you any additional money beyond your initial ticket for NKC-CDG. On a long-haul, hotel and care are even more important given time zone impacts.
