Canceled my ticket just because I requested a schedule change and didn't refund my ticket cost, only the taxes. I never received a cancelation email or notification and had to call the airline to receive an update as to my schedule change request just to find out that my ticket had been canceled weeks prior. Despite my ticket being canceled, I continued to receive flight notifications throughout the whole roundtrip journey and never received a cancelation letter until I got an alert from my bank that $100 (airfare tax) out of the $600 that I spent had been refunded. Customer support could not provide an explanation as to why and declined to solve the issue. Worst customer service I've ever had.

Flight cancellation

4 stars. Despite being biggest airlines in EU they never communicated when they experience challenges. Communication was made last minute after check in. No meal voucher no hotel voucher. I'm glad my concerns will be heard and compensated accordingly. Thank you

On 11/08/26, I was traveling on the 18:40 flight from Paris to Athens [Air France]. I had a small suitcase for which I had paid extra money, and a carry-on bag inside of which I had also put my personal handbag so I wouldn't have to carry too many things. All of these had been weighed before I left home and totaled 18 kg. I had checked the weight allowance rules and found that as long as a small suitcase and a carry-on bag do not exceed 18 kg combined, I wouldn't have a problem. Normally, I check in the suitcase. This time, I didn't manage to check it in because the [Air France] employee who helped me with my boarding pass told me that boarding had already started. Two staff members stopped me before security and told me to weigh everything together (including my personal handbag). The total weight of all luggage was 18 kg. They forced me to check in the suitcase and take only the carry-on bag with me, inside of which my personal handbag was also placed. And they made me pay 80 Euros. Because I was in a rush, I paid it because I was afraid I would miss the flight. And indeed, I was one of the last ones to board. Because I had checked how many kilos I am allowed to carry, I consider it unacceptable that they made me pay. Savvoula Bala

Flight delay

Don’t speak english and awful food on flight that’s not appealing to Americans. They need to appeal to American flyers not just French passengers.

I do not recommend flying with Air France. Based on my experience, they handled our case very poorly. We purchased tickets from Punta Cana to Bucharest with a connection in Paris, where our connecting flight was cancelled and we had to wait around 7 hours. Air France refused to pay compensation, relying on “safety and security reasons”, which I do not believe justified denying our claim under EU Regulation 261/2004. It felt like they were looking for any reason to avoid paying compensation. We only had a realistic chance of pursuing our rights by turning to a flight compensation company that could take legal action if necessary. Very disappointing customer service and overall experience. I would not choose Air France again.

Overall

  • close Air France cancelled our connecting flight, made us wait around 7 hours at the airport, and then refused to pay compensation by citing “safety and security reasons.

Denied boarding

The boarding passes need to be more accurate. Where the gate is written on the top right hand side of the boarding passes, the terminal should be written right next to it.
