Flight compensation Air France:
Toulouse — Lyon

Legal right: Air France flight between Toulouse and Lyon

The route TLS - LYS by Air France was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Given the route between Toulouse and Lyon (375 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Air France. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Air France, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Lyon|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Air France is responsible for|the fault lies with} Air France.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Toulouse airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
