Refund and compensation Air Serbia: route Paris to Belgrade

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

Given the route between Paris and Belgrade (1 423 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Serbia.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
  • Arrival airport: Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG)
  • Flight distance: 1 423 km (~1h47)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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

How to know if the flight Air Serbia Paris - Belgrade is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Paris and Belgrade entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 423 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Serbia to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Belgrade.
  • 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 Serbia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Paris, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Serbia compensation

Don't be fooled by Air Serbia's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Charles de Gaulle International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Serbia has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Serbia for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your CDG-BEG trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Serbia?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air Serbia boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CDG-BEG to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Paris to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Air Serbia on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Paris - Belgrade line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Serbia will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
