Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Rabat

Refund and compensation Air France: route Paris to Rabat

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

By taking off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 832 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Air France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Rabat. If Air France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Rabat, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 832 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rabat.
• 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 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Paris, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air France.

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-RBA trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Air France?

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

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
