Flight compensation Airlinair:
Lyon — Bordeaux

How to get compensated from Airlinair on Lyon (LYS) - Bordeaux (BOD)

Your Airlinair flight from Lyon to Bordeaux was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 464 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Airlinair to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

How to know if the flight Airlinair Lyon - Bordeaux is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Bordeaux. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Airlinair owes you 250€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Lyon without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

The rule is simple: if Airlinair's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Airlinair} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 250€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value Airlinair's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 250€}.

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

Avoid buying your meals without requesting vouchers from Airlinair. If you do pay, keep your receipts carefully.

Lots of travellers are unaware that transfers between the accommodation and the terminal at Lyon is also included in the legal package owed by Airlinair.
