Flight compensation Varig Log:
Paris — Pointe-noire

Legal right to compensation: Varig Log flight between Paris and Pointe-noire

If your trip departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport and arriving at Pointe Noire Airport operated by Varig Log was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 6 054 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.

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

How to know if the flight Varig Log Paris - Pointe-noire is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 6 054 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 Varig Log to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Pointe-noire.
• 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 Varig Log (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Varig Log compensation

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

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

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

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

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your CDG-PNR trip.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Paris to Pointe Noire Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

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

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

Don't take Varig Log'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 Varig Log will always prefer to compromise and pay the 600 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
