Was your Air France flight significantly delayed, canceled at short notice, or were you denied boarding due to overbooking? Under European and international passenger rights regulations — including U.S. Department of Transportation rules on denied boarding — you may have a right to financial compensation.

Compensation claims can be filed directly with Air France by following the airline's official procedure. The specific requirements and documentation are described in the airline's online support area.

Did your baggage end up delayed, damaged, or lost on an Air France flight? Applicable passenger rights regulations may entitle you to a refund or compensation. Common industry practice involves reporting the issue before leaving the airport and then submitting a formal claim.

The exact steps, deadlines, and documentation are set out on the Air France baggage help page on the airline's official website, and these details may change over time, so it's worth checking the latest version directly. AirHelp also provides a separate guide to Air France baggage issues with additional information for passengers.

General steps for baggage claims

Drawing on common industry practice and information published by Air France:

• Passengers are usually expected to report the issue at the airport's Baggage Service Office (or at the Air France service desk, where available) before leaving the airport.

• A Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with a reference number is normally issued at the time of reporting.

• Photographing any visible damage is widely recommended.

• Receipts for essential items purchased due to baggage delay should be kept for the claim.

• Claims should be filed with Air France within the time limits set by the airline.

For the exact procedure and time limits, please refer to the Air France baggage help page.

Baggage compensation and AirHelp

For most international flights, baggage rights fall under the Montreal Convention, which, depending on the circumstances, allows passengers to claim up to approximately $1,950 in cases of:

• Lost baggage

• Delayed baggage

• Damaged baggage

Eligible expenses can include essential purchases made during a baggage delay or the repair or replacement of damaged items. Further details are available on our page on lost or delayed luggage.

As an alternative way to pursue this type of compensation under the Montreal Convention or applicable U.S. laws, AirHelp offers a baggage claim service that passengers can choose to use. Through AirHelp+ membership, passengers also gain access to an additional fast-payment bonus of $200 in eligible cases of baggage disruption, along with other membership benefits.

The AirHelp Score is an independent rating developed by AirHelp that evaluates airlines along three dimensions: on-time performance, customer feedback, and claim processing. It gives passengers a general overview to help compare how airlines perform on these metrics.

The current AirHelp Score for Air France is available on the dedicated AirHelp Score page.

Passengers who need wheelchair service, have medical conditions, or are traveling with a disability should reach out to Air France directly: the airline organizes these services through its own channels. AirHelp does not arrange special assistance, but the rights of air passengers with disabilities are covered on a dedicated AirHelp page for those who want to know what the regulations provide.

Advance notice is generally part of the process: from what Air France publishes, requests should be submitted well before the day of departure. Eligibility criteria, deadlines, and the full procedure are set out on the airline's official special assistance page — and since the procedure can be updated over time, the Air France website is the place to check for the latest version.
