Flight compensation PAN Air:
Gustavia — Antigua

Refund and compensation PAN Air: route Gustavia to Antigua

The SBH - ANU route operated by PAN Air 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 140 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.

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

How to know if the flight PAN Air Gustavia - Antigua is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if PAN Air offers you a voucher for your Gustavia - Antigua flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

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

What are the conditions for PAN Air to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your PAN Air compensation

A work stoppage of PAN Air crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Gustavia, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for PAN Air.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking PAN Air for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Gustavia remains valid. The hotel is due if PAN Air offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from PAN Air?

Starting a procedure against PAN Air for a flight from Gustavia to Antigua can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Gustavia to V.C. Bird International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Gustavia - Antigua line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company PAN Air will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
