Air France Flight Delay Compensation

Every time your Air France flight is late, you may be entitled to compensation. This applies to all flights that are 3+ hours late at the destination, and whenever the delay is due to airline’s fault. For example, Air France staff strikes are considered Air France’s fault, not something unavoidable. You can get up to 600 euro per person.
Air France Refund For Cancellation
ELIGIBILITY:
all passengers (includes infants)
Flight cancellation rules are very specific. Every time a European airline cancels a flight, a new flight or full refund must be offered. You have a right to choose whatever suits you the best. The same applies to all flights departing and arriving in Europe (EU, EEA, UK). Whenever that happens less than 14 days before the departure, you may also have a right to EU flight cancellation compensation.
