Refund and compensation Nationwide Airlines: route Rennes to Bordeaux

The RNS - BOD route operated by Nationwide Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 369 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport (RNS)
  • Arrival airport: Bordeaux (BOD)
  • Flight distance: 369 km (~0h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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

How to know if the flight Nationwide Airlines Rennes - Bordeaux is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bordeaux. If Nationwide Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bordeaux, your claim is legitimate.

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

What are the conditions for Nationwide Airlines to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Rennes, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Nationwide Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Rennes - Bordeaux trip is due to an internal strike within Nationwide Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Nationwide Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Nationwide Airlines?

For your Rennes - Bordeaux trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Nationwide Airlines staff at the Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Airlines like Nationwide Airlines sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Nationwide Airlines on your smartphone.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Nationwide Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
