Claim a Corsair refund for a delayed or canceled flight!
Remboursement flight with Corsair How to obtain compensation?
You have just experienced a flight cancellation, delay, or overbooking with Corsair and you want to claim the Corsair refund you’re entitled to? You’re in the right place.
According to European Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, you have the right to claim compensation in the event of a problem with your flight. However, the claims process can be complex and time-consuming. That’s why Indemniflight is here to assist you.
In this guide, discover why it is often difficult to claim a refund from Corsair and the essential steps to receive your compensation without hassle.
How to get a Corsair refund?
To ensure that you get a Corsair refund, several conditions must be met. We detail them here.
Eligibility conditions for Corsair compensation
To receive compensation from Corsair, several criteria must be met. First, your delayed or canceled flight must depart from or land at an airport within the European Union, in accordance with the European Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council that protects passenger rights.
As for the nationality of the airline, Corsair being a French airline, all its flights, whether departing from or arriving in the EU, are covered by this regulation. If the airline were not based in the EU, only flights departing from the EU would be eligible for compensation. Another crucial criterion is the length of the delay.
To be eligible for compensation, the delay at arrival must be at least 3 hours. You need to compare the scheduled arrival time with the actual door-opening time. For example, if your flight was scheduled to arrive at 7:00 PM and you reach your destination at 10:30 PM, you are entitled to compensation.
Cases where a claim to Corsair is not possible
It’s important to note that certain extraordinary circumstances prevent you from filing a claim with Corsair. Indeed, flight incidents must be within Corsair’s responsibility.
If external factors cause the delay, cancellation, or overbooking, you cannot request compensation. For example, extreme weather conditions such as a storm or heavy snow, strikes not related to the airline, such as those of air traffic controllers or ground staff, and airport evacuation due to a bomb threat are factors that exempt the airline from responsibility.
Additionally, Corsair is exempt from paying compensation if it informed you of the cancellation of your Corsair flight at least 14 days before the scheduled travel date.
How much can you get for a Corsair flight refund?
The amount of your refund for a Corsair flight is determined by law, ranging from 250 to 600 euros depending on the distance traveled. Here are the exact amounts based on the distances covered:
| Flight Distance | Compensation Amount |
| Up to 1,500 km | 250 euros per passenger |
| Between 1,500 and 3,500 km | 400 euros per passenger |
| More than 3,500 km | 600 euros per passenger |
For illustration, a flight between Marseille and Lyon, which is less than 1,500 km, would compensate you up to 250 euros. A trip between Europe and Israel or North Africa, covering between 1,500 km and 3,500 km, would allow compensation of 400 euros. Finally, a flight of more than 3,500 km, such as between France and the United States, would be compensated with 600 euros.
The airline Corsair, operating primarily long-haul flights from Orly Airport, serves destinations such as West Africa, the Greater Caribbean, and Canada. Therefore, if your flight meets the compensation conditions, you are generally eligible for a 600-euro compensation.
It is also important to note that you can request a refund for your Corsair ticket after 5 hours of waiting. However, this refund will forfeit your right to additional compensation. With this information, you can assess how much you could receive as a refund for a Corsair flight.

Why Is It Helpful to Get Support from a Third-Party Organization?
Requesting a refund from Corsair can be complex and discouraging. As with many airlines, Corsair is rarely inclined to pay compensation without resistance.
When you submit a claim for a delayed flight, you may encounter various obstacles. Response times can be long, and airlines often use tricks to avoid paying. As a result, this procedure can quickly become a source of stress, lost time, and money for passengers.
The Advantage of Specialized Organizations
To avoid these inconveniences, it is highly recommended to go through a third-party organization specialized in recovering compensation, such as Indemniflight. These intermediaries defend passenger rights against airlines, with no upfront fees for handling your case. Their expertise and knowledge of procedures increase your chances of success and allow you to focus on other aspects of your life.
Maximize Your Chances for a Claim Against Corsair
To optimize your chances of receiving compensation, it’s best to anticipate the claims process. This means keeping certain key documents such as your boarding pass, booking confirmation, and flight delay certificate. It’s also recommended to keep receipts and invoices for any purchases made due to the flight delay.
Indeed, Corsair must reimburse these expenses as the law requires them to provide you with meals and refreshments during the wait, as well as allow two phone calls and two emails. By understanding these issues and relying on experts, you maximize your chances of receiving the compensation you are entitled to, while avoiding the hassle and stress of administrative procedures.
Indemniflight is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve without complications.
