Cancelled Air Antilles flight — refund and compensation rules

You may be entitled to a ticket refund, flight compensation of up to £520, or even both, depending on the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of your Air Antilles flight.

When can I file a claim for cancelled Air Antilles flight compensation?

You might be eligible for flight compensation if your flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the scheduled departure date.

You must also consider extraordinary circumstances, such as a natural disaster that prevents the flight from taking off or landing — if these extraordinary circumstances apply to your flight, you may be ineligible for compensation.

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Air Antilles flight?

If your flight was cancelled and you did not take the alternative flight offered by the airline, you may be entitled to a refund from Air Antilles. You are also entitled to a ticket refund if you were not offered any alternative flight.

Cancellation notice	Alternative flight	Compensation
Fewer than 7 days in advance	Departs 1h+ earlier or arrived 2h+ later	Yes
7-14 days in advance	Departs 2h+ earlier or arrived 4h+ later	Yes
Fewer than 14 days in advance	No alternative flight offered	Yes + refund

Air Antilles is offering me a travel voucher instead of a refund — should I accept it?

Accepting a travel voucher instead of a refund is not recommended. This is due to two major factors:

1. When you accept a travel voucher, you must fly with the same airline again. Furthermore, the airline will usually set a time limit for redeeming the voucher.

2. If the airline declares bankruptcy, you may be unable to convert your voucher into a cash refund, resulting in losing your money.

I was flying with Air Antilles to a non-EU country. Can I still claim compensation?

Yes, you certainly can! Air Antilles is a French airline headquartered in Guadeloupe. Guadeloupe island is part of the EU. Air Antilles also operates within the Caribbeans, departing from Paris Orly. As a result, EU261 applies to all Air Antilles flights that are delayed or cancelled.

However, the situation might be different if you were flying with a non-EU/non-UK airline. Details can be found in the table below.

Type of flight	Example	Compensation
Flying with a British carrier	Tokyo to London with British Airways	Yes
Flying with a EU carrier	Amsterdam to London with KLM	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK	London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK	Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines	No

Extraordinary circumstances — can Air Antilles deny me compensation?

Extraordinary circumstances are situations where the airline is not to blame for the delay or cancellation. If any of the following conditions apply to your Air Antilles flight delay or cancellation, you may be ineligible for flight compensation:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

(Keep in mind that the above list is non-exhaustive — in general, the airline can deny compensation if the disruption is caused by a third party or force majeure.)

Watch out, though! Airlines can sometimes claim that extraordinary circumstances occurred when it was not the case! They do so to avoid having to compensate passengers for disrupted flights.
