My mother traveled from MAA (Chennai, India) to WAW (Warsaw, Poland) on July 27, 2006 via CDG (Paris, France). She flew Delta Airlines (on code share with Air France)
from MAA to CDG. From CDG she was to take AF 2346 (departing at
12:35PM); however, that flight was cancelled and she was re-routed on
AF 1246 (departing at 06:40PM) - delaying her by 6 hours and 5 minutes.
She was given a voucher for food and drink, and NOTHING ELSE!!!
No compensation for her having to spend 6 hours in a foreign airport terminal, in the hands of what appears to be a callous and uncaring airline, in an atmosphere of uncertainty.
I would urge would be travelers to steer clear of his airline. I have been in regular touch with the airline and have corresponded with their Warsaw and India offices) complained to the French Director General of Avaiation and the Air Transport Users Council with little luck so far. However I havent given up yet.
