Flight compensation United Airlines:
Paris — Newark

Claim and compensation for flight United Airlines Paris - Newark

Your claim for compensation for the United Airlines flight from Paris to Newark deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 5 857 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if United Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Airlines Paris - Newark is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for United Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your United Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by United Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, United Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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