Leaving Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 515 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Arrival airport: Brest Bretagne Airport (BES)
  • Flight distance: 515 km (~0h39)
