Claiming Compensation for Paris Orly Airport Flight Cancellations

Looking into Paris Orly Airport cancellations brings up a whole range of questions for affected travellers. Under EU law, airlines must take care of their passengers, but must also get them to their intended destination, assuming the passenger still wishes to travel.

Additionally, if the airline canceled your flight less than 2 weeks before you were due to fly, you may be owed up to $650 as well.

Passengers should be aware that there are some exceptions under EU law. One example is if Paris Orly Airport had to cancel flights for a reason that was outside of the airline's control. That is classified as extraordinary circumstances and the airline won't have to pay compensation. Typical examples of extraordinary circumstances include dangerous weather conditions at Paris Orly Airport, or a strike by air traffic control.

We break down the situations where you are, and aren't, in line for compensation here, but our free compensation check can also tell you in just minutes if your flight cancellation qualifies for compensation.


Compensation for Paris Orly Airport Delays

Getting stuck for several hours because of delays in Paris Orly Airport isn't just frustrating, it often costs passengers their hard-earned money. Whether that's paying for essential food and drink during your wait, or missing out on pre-planned activities thanks to a late arrival at your destination. That's why it's so important passengers are aware that they may have the right to compensation — up to $650 per person, under EU law.

Although passengers on delayed flights from Paris Orly Airport will be counting down the hours until takeoff, when it comes to claiming compensation, it's the delay getting to your destination airport that's important. The right to compensation kicks in when passengers land 3 hours or more after the scheduled time.

Air travellers should know about one key exception: flight delays as a result of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight delay was caused by bad weather conditions, an incident at the airport, or strikes by air traffic control, the airline won't pay compensation in these cases, because these are not situations that they can control.
