Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Lima

Get your Air France flight compensation for the route Paris - Lima

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 10 276 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air France to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Paris - Lima is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lima airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air France owes you 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air France CDG-LIM flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Paris.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Air France crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

A strike by weather services at Charles de Gaulle International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air France has no control.

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 well-being of its passengers stuck at Paris.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
