This regulation also covers issues related to luggage. Familiarize yourself with your rights under this regulation. If you need assistance with cross-border disputes within the EU, you can contact ECC-Net European Consumer Centres Network.

If Air France fails to resolve your complaint satisfactorily, and the amount you are seeking is within the limit set by the European Small Claims Procedure, you can file a claim in the Small Claims Court in France.
