Flight compensation Airlinair:
La Rochelle — Poitiers

Airlinair passengers La Rochelle-Poitiers: your guide to get compensated

The route LRH - PIS by Airlinair was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Given the route between La Rochelle and Poitiers (124 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Airlinair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Good to know? Even if Airlinair is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from La Rochelle, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Airlinair La Rochelle - Poitiers is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Airlinair proposes a voucher for your La Rochelle - Poitiers flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

Be wary by Airlinair's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

It's worth noting that the obligation to prove rests on Airlinair. It is the carrier's responsibility to demonstrate that the disruption of your La Rochelle-Poitiers flight results from a truly unforeseeable event.

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

Here is what Airlinair owes you if your flight is delayed at La Rochelle: refreshments and food adapted to waiting time, two free communications, and a hotel night if the flight is pushed to the next day.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at La Rochelle still applies. The hotel must be provided if Airlinair delays your flight overnight.
