When Are You Entitled To Air France Flight Compensation?

Flight Disruptions

You may be entitled to Air France flight compensation for flight disruptions such as cancellations, delays, and denied boarding due to overbooking or other reasons within the control of the airline.

Schedule Change

If Air France changes your flight schedule without adequate notice or a valid reason, you may be entitled to compensation under certain circumstances, depending on the details of the schedule change and how it has affected your travel plans.

Flight Cancellations

If Air France cancels your flight without giving you sufficient notice or a valid reason, you may be entitled to compensation under EU regulation 261/2004, depending on the circumstances of the cancellation and how it has affected your travel plans.

Extraordinary Circumstances

If Air France cancelled flights are caused by extraordinary circumstances outside of the airline’s control, such as severe weather, natural disasters, or air traffic control strikes, you may not be entitled to compensation under EU regulation 261/2004.

Air France Delayed Flight Compensation

Aviation involves so many (literally or metaphorically) moving parts that some delays would happen even if airlines put every effort to prevent them. That’s why your plans can still be ruined by Air France delays. And that is also the reason why Skycop is there to help you claim Air France flight cancellation compensation from the airlines!

Regulation (EC) 261/2004 forces the airlines to make available channels for the passengers to ask for reimbursement. But that doesn’t mean that those channels are open and easy to use. That’s why you should consider claiming Air France delay compensation via Skycop. All you need to do is enter the details of your flight and our system will give you a preliminary estimate of whether your flight is claimable – and how much compensation you are due. If you trust the process to us, the rest of the process will be handled by our team of experienced professionals. This means that you won’t have to bother with any dry lawyer speak or reluctant airlines!

However, there are a few things that factor into whether you’re owed delayed flight or Air France delayed baggage compensation. According to the regulation, the delay has to be the fault of the airline for the flight to be claimable. Furthermore, the airline can offer a voucher or something similar – those usually come with the condition that you waive your right to receive compensation. You shouldn’t! Instead, enter your flight details on our website and find out if your flight is eligible.

If your delayed flight is qualified for Air France flight delay compensation, you will only need to enter your flight number, email address and a few other details to complete the claim. Afterwards, it will be the duty of our professional team to get you your money!

Air France Cancelled Flight Compensation

Flights get delayed, flights get cancelled. Air France cancelled flights are not uncommon. There are many reasons why cancellations can happen. If this happened to you, Regulation (EC) 261/2004 makes it the duty of Air France to either book you another flight at no cost to you. Of course, certain airlines want to add various conditions to that, but that’s how it’s supposed to go. If you don’t like the rerouting you can do it yourself, via the airline’s website. Do note that if you want to take a flight that was more expensive than your previous one, you will have to pay the difference in addition to things like handling charges and rebooking fees.

What you should also know is that the same regulation also stipulates that if the airline cancelled your flight without a 14-day notice or a rebooking option, you can claim flight compensation! EC261 states that the airlines have to make channels available for claiming Air France flight cancellation compensation. However, those channels may not be easily accessible and the airlines might not be inclined to pay. That is where Skycop steps in.

If you fill a cancelled flight claim at Skycop, you hand over the hard process of getting Air France flight cancellation compensation to our team of professionals. We will deal with everything the airline can throw at us. We know the law and we have a lot of experience fighting the airlines.

That said, there are exceptions – “extraordinary circumstances” – when it comes to paying compensation. If the cancellation was caused by something that can’t be blamed on the airlines – terrible weather, strikes at the airport, war and so on – Air France doesn’t have to pay. However, most of the time, it’s a lot less clear cut and an airline might try to get away without paying – even if they should.

So check your flight at Skycop.com – our system will carry out a preliminary check of your flight’s eligibility for compensation – as well as its size! Once you claim compensation via Skycop, the rest will be handled by our team of professionals. You’ll be able to just relax and wait for the news!

Denied Boarding Compensation

Denied boarding compensation is a form of reimbursement provided to passengers who are denied boarding on a flight due to overbooking or other reasons within the airline’s control, but subject to certain conditions and limitations. Passengers who are eligible for this compensation may be entitled to a refund from Air France or alternative travel arrangements, as well as compensation for any inconvenience or expenses incurred as a result of being denied boarding. The exact amount of Air France overbooking compensation may vary depending on the circumstances of the denied boarding, such as the length of the delay and the distance of the flight.
