Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Algier

How to get compensated from Air France on Paris (CDG) - Algier (ALG)

Your Air France flight from Paris to Algier was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 371 km, Air France is bound by a compensation obligation 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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Air France from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Houari Boumediene Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Air France must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Air France segment Paris-Algier causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

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

Be wary by Air France's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

An specialist firm can easily identify whether the strike that impacted your Air France Paris→Algier flight is an internal or external cause.

What are your rights at Paris 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 wellbeing of passengers stuck at Paris. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Remember to request a delay certificate from Air France staff at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. This document is crucial for your claim if you need to prove the delay.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
