Cancelled Corsair flight — refund and compensation policies
The refund and compensation policies depend on the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of your Corsair flight. According to the EU regulations, in the event of a cancelled Corsair flight, you might be entitled to flight compensation up to £520, the full monetary refund of your flight, or both!
When to claim compensation for a cancelled Corsair flight?
Passengers can claim flight compensation if their Corsair flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the scheduled departure date.
However, extraordinary circumstances must be considered such as a natural disaster that prevents the flight from taking off — if these unusual circumstances apply to your flight, you may be ineligible for compensation.
When to claim a refund for a cancelled Corsair flight?
In general, if the airline offered you an alternative flight and you declined the offer, you can ask for the full monetary refund of their Corsair cancelled flight.
The same goes if the airline doesn’t offer you an alternative flight at all.
| 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 |
Corsair is offering me a travel voucher instead of a refund — should I accept it?
We would like to highlight that, no matter the circumstances, accepting a voucher from an airline instead of a monetary refund is not a good idea. First of all, according to the EU261, airlines must offer monetary refunds and not only vouchers. But here are two other arguments:
By accepting a travel voucher, you must fly with the same airline again. The airline also usually assigns a time limit for redeeming the voucher.
If the airline declares bankruptcy, you may be unable to convert your voucher into a cash refund — in other words, your money will be lost.

Corsair overbooked flight — get a refund, compensation and extra care
Overbooking is happening more often than you might think! Airlines often sell more tickets than there are available seats on the plane, and if they cannot find enough volunteers to give up their reservations, people might be denied boarding against their will.
Did you know? In the event of a denied boarding because of an overbooked Corsair flight, you can ask for flight compensation and/or flight refund!

I was flying with Corsair to a non-EU country. Can I still claim compensation?
Yes, you can. Corsair is a French airline flying all across the world, mainly from Europe. As a result, EU261 applies to all Corsair flights that are delayed or cancelled.
However, if you were flying with a non-EU/non-UK airline, the situation might be different. More details 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 Corsair deny me compensation?
Extraordinary circumstances are situations in which the airline is not the party at fault for the delay or cancellation. If any of the following conditions apply to your Corsair flight delay or cancellation, you might not be eligible for flight compensation (n.b. this list is non-exhaustive):
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.
Be careful: sometimes airlines claim that extraordinary circumstances occurred when they did not! They do so to avoid having to pay out flight compensation to passengers.

How long do I have to claim my Corsair compensation and refund?
The time limit to claim flight compensation depends on:
The law of the country from which the flight is departing
The law of the country to which the flight is travelling
The law of the country where the airline is headquartered
For example, if you are taking a Corsair flight from Barcelona to La Réunion, you have 5 years to submit a claim, as this is the statutory claim expiry date in both France and in Spain.
