Flight compensation Air France:
Venice — Paris

Claim and compensation for flight Air France Venice - Paris

If your trip departing from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport and arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 835 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air France is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Paris. If Air France made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Venice, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Venice 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 Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

If Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air France, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Venice remains valid. The hotel is due if Air France offsets your flight by one night.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

An unfounded refusal from Air France is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
