Flight compensation Alitalia:
Paris — Toronto

How to claim your money from Alitalia on Paris (CDG) → Toronto (YYZ)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Alitalia didn't honour its scheduled times for your Paris - Toronto flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 6 020 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Alitalia to provide financial compensation. Long-haul flights qualify for the highest compensation tier.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Alitalia from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Paris - Toronto is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Lester B. Pearson International Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Alitalia owes you 600€.

If you had a connection are equally covered. If your first Alitalia segment Paris→Toronto leads to a missed connection, the total delay at your final destination counts.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

A work stoppage by Alitalia's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 600€.

Even if the 600€ are not payable due to an external strike at Paris, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of Alitalia. Keep this in mind.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking coupons from Alitalia. If you advance costs, save your invoices diligently.

Remember to request a delay certificate from Alitalia staff at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. This document is indispensable for your claim if you need to prove the delay.
