Claim and compensation for flight Air France Paris - Santiago

Your claim for compensation for the Air France flight from Paris to Santiago deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 11 673 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air France offers you a voucher for your Paris - Santiago flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 11 673 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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