AF 229 Flight Delayed: Compensation

If your flight AF 229 Buenos Aires to Paris was delayed, you may be entitled to compensation for a flight delay, depending on the circumstances. Regulation EC 261/2004 is a European Union law that gives passengers the right to compensation for flight delay inconvenience and lost time.

The law does not provide compensation for minor delays less than 3 hours. So to be entitled to make a valid compensation claim, your flight AF 229 must arrive in Paris at least 3 hours late. The distance between Buenos Aires and Paris is the main determining factor for compensation calculation for your flight AF 229.

Tip: Paris is not your final destination, the amount of compensation must be calculated based on the distance between Paris and your ultimate final destination if both flights are booked under the same reservation.
