How to be compensated by Air Lituanica on the Paris (CDG) - Vilnius (VNO) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Lituanica did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Vilnius flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 674 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Lituanica to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Lituanica Paris - Vilnius is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Vilnius International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Lituanica owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Lituanica CDG-VNO flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Paris.

What are the conditions for Air Lituanica to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Vilnius.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paris airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Lituanica (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Lituanica compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Vilnius International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
