File your refund for Air France Tel-aviv → Nice

A delay over 3 hours on Air France Tel-aviv → Nice qualifies you for up to 400€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Ben Gurion International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 2 735 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Air France.

How to know if the flight Air France Tel-aviv - Nice is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Eurocontrol data will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Nice.

Even if Air France offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Nice is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nice.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tel-aviv 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 strike action by Air France's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by air traffic control, Air France is released from paying the 400€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

What are your rights at Tel-aviv airport in case of prolonged wait?

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Air France must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Tel-aviv.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this at the expense of Air France.
