Overbooking, bad weather\u2026 Different\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>reasons\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0can lead to\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0flight\u00a0<\/span>cancellation .\u00a0<\/span>In this case, what can we claim from the airline?<\/span><\/p>\n

What should the airline offer at the airport?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the event\u00a0<\/span>of flight cancellation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, the passenger has the choice between reimbursement of their ticket or rerouting on another flight possibly chartered by another airline.\u00a0In some cases, it also happens that the company offers financial compensation.\u00a0In addition, all costs incurred by this cancellation are the responsibility of the airline: hotel night, dinner, lunch, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should the airline compensate me?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Passengers who were unable to board due to overbooking by the airline are entitled to compensation.\u00a0The amount of this allowance is fixed by international conventions and depends on the number of kilometers to be covered.\u00a0Payment of compensation can be made in cash, by check or by bank transfer.\u00a0Other forms of compensation are sometimes offered, such as credits or travel vouchers.\u00a0Payment in any other form must be authorized in writing by the passenger.\u00a0Most often, the airline offers a transactional protocol to the passenger to put an end to any dispute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any exceptions to compensation?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The airline does not have to compensate the passenger in two cases:<\/span>
\u2013 if the passenger has been informed of the cancellation of his flight two weeks before departure.\u00a0If this period is less than two weeks, no compensation is provided if the airline has offered you another flight at the same time (and possibly on another company).<\/span>
\u2013 the airline is also not required to compensate you if the cancellation is due to a case of force majeure (such as bad weather).\u00a0Indeed, in this case, he is not responsible for the cancellation of the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case of disagreement on compensation<\/span><\/h2>\n

You may disagree with the company on the amount of compensation.\u00a0Indeed, one may wish to be compensated for the harmful consequences resulting from this cancellation.\u00a0This may be financial damage (following the cancellation of a flight, the passenger would have missed a job interview, etc.), or moral damage (in the case, for example, where the passenger would not have been able to attend a funeral).<\/span>
In case of disagreement, you must contact the competent court according to the amount that you freely set: magistrate, tribunal de grande instance or tribunal de grande instance.\u00a0If the judge considers that we are entitled to better compensation, we can obtain damages.<\/span><\/p>\n
