How to be compensated by Airlinair on the Nice (NCE) - Biarritz-bayonne (BIQ) line

From Nice airport, your departure with Airlinair to Biarritz-bayonne didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
