Legal compensation: Air France flight Toulouse - Venice

Your Air France flight from Toulouse to Venice was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 894 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Air France to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Contrary to what {many think|Air France might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Toulouse airport.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

The EU Court of Justice has clearly stated: internal industrial action do not constitute extraordinary circumstances for airlines. This ruling is binding across the entire EU.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Air France must also cover your hotel night close to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
