Flight compensation Air Tahiti Nui:
Los Angeles — Paris

Claim and compensation for flight Air Tahiti Nui Los Angeles - Paris

If your trip departing from Los Angeles International Airport and arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Air Tahiti Nui was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Los Angeles International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 9 103 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Tahiti Nui.

How to know if the flight Air Tahiti Nui Los Angeles - Paris is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Los Angeles and Paris 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 9 103 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Tahiti Nui 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 Los Angeles airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Tahiti Nui (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Tahiti Nui compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Los Angeles - Paris trip is due to an internal strike within Air Tahiti Nui, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Los Angeles, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Tahiti Nui.

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

If Los Angeles International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Tahiti Nui, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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