Flight compensation SATA International:
Ponta Delgada — Paris

Get your SATA International flight compensation for the route Ponta Delgada - Paris

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Ponta Delgada and Paris with SATA International? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 561 km of flight, the company SATA International 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.

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.
