Air Passenger Rights at Charles de Gaulle International Airport
If your flight from Charles de Gaulle International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under European regulations. The EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) protects passengers departing from any EU airport, including CDG, or arriving at CDG from outside the EU with a European airline. This regulation ensures compensation and assistance in cases of long flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.
To be eligible under EU 261, your flight must either depart from an EU country (such as France) or arrive in the EU with an EU-based airline. Compensation amounts depend on the flight distance and the length of the delay. For flights up to 1,500 km, compensation is up to €250 per passenger. For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km, compensation can reach €400 per person. For flights over 3,500 km, compensation may be up to €600 per passenger. These rights apply unless the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or security risks.
If your flight from Charles de Gaulle was delayed by more than 3 hours, cancelled without sufficient notice, or you were denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be eligible for financial compensation. It is important to keep your travel documents, such as your boarding pass and booking confirmation, and to document all communications with the airline. Compensation claims can be made for both short-haul and long-haul flights, and the amount you may receive is based on the distance of your journey and the length of the delay.
Passengers flying from Charles de Gaulle International Airport are also entitled to care and assistance in the event of a delay or cancellation. This may include meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, and transport between the airport and your accommodation if necessary. The regulation applies regardless of your nationality or place of residence.
