Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Boston

Refund and compensation Air France: route Paris to Boston

If your trip departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport and arriving at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Paris and Boston (5 534 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air France.

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 is not a commercial 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 Paris - Boston is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Boston. If Air France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Boston.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Charles de Gaulle International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Air France?

For your Paris - Boston trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Air France staff at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CDG-BOS to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

On the CDG-BOS line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air France's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Paris - Boston section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Air France should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Air France is often more striking.
