Flight compensation British Airways:
Paris — Chicago

Get your British Airways flight compensation for the route Paris - Chicago

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If British Airways did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Chicago flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 6 664 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight British Airways Paris - Chicago is eligible?

For an British Airways flight from Paris to Chicago, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Charles de Gaulle International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for British Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Chicago.
• 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 British Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
