Flight compensation Air France:
Paris — Rome

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

From Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, your departure with Air France to Rome didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 101 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air France to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air France owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rome.
• 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 250 €.

Even if 250 € 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?

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.

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

The amicable route with Air France to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Air France flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air France. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Air France flight from Paris can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Paris - Rome line.

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.
