Flight compensation US Airways:
Paris — Dallas-Fort Worth

Legal right to compensation: US Airways flight between Paris and Dallas-Fort Worth

If your trip departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport and arriving at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport operated by US Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Paris and Dallas-Fort Worth (7 944 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by US Airways.

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.

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

How to know if the flight US Airways Paris - Dallas-Fort Worth is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Dallas-Fort Worth. If US Airways made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 7 944 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for US Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dallas-Fort Worth.
• 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 US Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your US Airways compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Paris - Dallas-Fort Worth trip is due to an internal strike within US Airways, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Charles de Gaulle International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which US Airways has no control.

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

If Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of US Airways, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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