Get your Air France flight compensation for the route Paris - Ajaccio
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air France did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Ajaccio flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 907 km of flight, the company Air France is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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.

- Arrival airport: Ajaccio (AJA)
- Flight distance: 907 km (~1h08)

-
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...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Paris, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
