Get your Royal Air Maroc flight compensation for the route Lyon - Marrakech
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Lyon and Marrakech with Royal Air Maroc? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 934 km of flight, the company Royal Air Maroc is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
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: Lyon (LYS)
- Arrival airport: Menara Airport (RAK)
- Flight distance: 1 934 km (~2h25)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Royal Air Maroc Lyon - Marrakech is eligible?
The compensation for flight LYS-RAK is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Royal Air Maroc LYS-RAK flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Lyon.
What are the conditions for Royal Air Maroc to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marrakech.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lyon airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Royal Air Maroc (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Lyon, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Royal Air Maroc compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Lyon - Marrakech trip is due to an internal strike within Royal Air Maroc, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
A strike by weather services at Lyon or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Royal Air Maroc has no control.
What are your rights at Lyon airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Lyon, Royal Air Maroc must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Lyon terminal is also included in the legal package due by Royal Air Maroc.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Royal Air Maroc?
Getting justice against carrier Royal Air Maroc requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Royal Air Maroc flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Royal Air Maroc. An expert can reduce this time by half.
Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Royal Air Maroc on your smartphone.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Don't take Royal Air Maroc's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Royal Air Maroc will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
