Flight compensation Air France:
Tokyo — Paris

Claim and compensation for flight Air France Tokyo - Paris

The HND - CDG route operated by Air France experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Tokyo and Paris (9 707 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air France.

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.

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

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

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

Also note that the distance of 9 707 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.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tokyo 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air France staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Tokyo International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Tokyo airport in case of prolonged wait?
