Flight Delay Compensation in France
France is part of the EU/EEA, which means all flights departing from any of its 124 airports are fully protected by EU Regulation EC 261/2004. If your flight was delayed by 3 or more hours, cancelled without 14 days notice, or you were denied boarding, you may be entitled to compensation regardless of which airline you flew with.
Compensation amounts are fixed by EU law based on flight distance: €250 for short-haul flights under 1,500km, €400 for medium-haul flights between 1,500–3,500km, and €600 for long-haul flights exceeding 3,500km. Claims can typically be filed up to 6 years after the flight date.
France has 4 locally-based airlines and is served by 100 carriers in total. Use the airport and airline directories above to check your specific flight and calculate your compensation instantly.
