Air France Delay or Cancellation Compensation: Full Guide
Delayed or cancelled Air France flight to or from the UK? You could be owed up to £520 in compensation. Here's how it works.
Air France flights connecting the UK and Paris, or onward via Charles de Gaulle, are covered by UK261 and EU261. A delay of 3+ hours or a cancellation can entitle you to compensation.
How much is Air France compensation?
- £220 for short-haul flights under 1,500km
- £350 for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km
- £520 for long-haul flights over 3,500km
French air traffic control strikes
France sees frequent ATC strikes, and Air France often points to these as extraordinary circumstances. While a genuine ATC strike can be a valid exemption, airlines still have a duty to minimise disruption by rerouting or rescheduling where possible, and many rejections on this basis do not stand up when challenged.
How far back can you claim?
Up to 6 years for flights out of England, Wales or Northern Ireland, or 5 years from Scotland.
