Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Geneva

Legal right: Air France flight between Paris and Geneva

If your journey from Charles de Gaulle International Airport to Geneva Cointrin International Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

With 408 km between Charles de Gaulle International Airport and Geneva Cointrin International Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Air France, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Be sure to retain your flight records for the Air France CDG→GVA flight. They constitute the key proof of your check-in.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

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

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

To get started: submit a written complaint to Air France's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 250€ amount|your specific claim}.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.
