Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Lyon — Bastia

Procedure: Corse-Mediterranee flight compensation from Lyon to Bastia

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Corse-Mediterranee did not respect its scheduled times for your Lyon - Bastia 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 498 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Corse-Mediterranee Lyon - Bastia is eligible?

The compensation for flight LYS-BIA is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lyon airport.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Lyon - Bastia flight.

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