Flight compensation Flybe:
Paris — Edinburgh

Refund and compensation Flybe: route Paris to Edinburgh

If your trip departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport and arriving at Edinburgh Airport operated by Flybe was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 869 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Flybe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Flybe Paris - Edinburgh is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Paris and Edinburgh entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Paris, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Flybe compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Edinburgh Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

If Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Flybe, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Flybe to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Paris - Edinburgh section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Flybe should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Flybe without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Paris.
