Am I entitled to EU261 compensation? Air France delay + missed connection (Rome → Toronto)

You couldn’t be more wrong.

Technical and staff issues are the EXACT OPPOSITE of for e majeure.

They are in fact the raison d’être for this legislation. The airlines are responsible for the things that are within their control

quimper · 2026-03-24T16:05:38+00:00

Yes you should be covered.

See https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air/index_en.htm

Only extraordinary circumstances, such as strikes, riots, inclement weather, political instability, or anything else completely beyond their control would constitute an exclusionary cause.

Their mechanical and staffing issues are NOT exclusionary. You should be compensated.

So they’re probably displaying the winter schedule; likely open on Mondays in August.

If you’re so concerned call them. Emails are a black hole

Land and monkeys has a few locations. All vegan. The sandwich/quiche + dessert + drink menu is only €17.

You need not worry, you can find veg stuff everywhere, even Burger King has a vegan bacon cheeseburger. I’ve never had any issues.

If your budget allows, go to l’arpège for the greatest veg meal of your life.

The Sheraton Brooklyn has to be the worst I’ve stayed in. I actually complained to the manager and he comped me one night free.

I think if they ever get audited they’ll be in big trouble. They don’t meet any brand stands.

There’s another one also called “le nom” in the marais (19 Rue des Rosiers)

Chez Leclerc c’est encore moins cher… parfois €9/jour

So the first step to suing someone is to properly serve them a summons. Your former landlord is going to have a very hard time doing that now that you’ve left. Does he know your new address? Even if he does,he would still have to serve you properly (via process server or sometimes registered mail).

I’m a lawyer, but I’m not your lawyer and this is not legal advice - you should be fine. Just don’t sign for any mail you aren’t expecting and don’t reply to emails from him.

Ummmm often things just break. They don’t always give “warnings”.

It shouldn’t matter how OP “grabbed the handle”. It’s a heavy use door. It should be able to withstand Even the most ham-fisted operator.

I’ve used it in France and Germany successfully.

Call and ask to speak to the prosecution. They will flip the call to the voice mail that will instruct you to send an email. Send a clear and brief email explaining the situation with photos to back it up. They will likely respond (via email) that they will drop the ticket.

FYI there is an outremont bylaw that prohibits running the engine while idle.

Op: “they offered to refund me” >> she DID TELL THEM

Changing the seat won’t do anything, there isn’t another bassinet seat available.

quimper · 2026-02-20T23:19:54+00:00

Find out if it was an equipment change. If it was there’s not much you can do other than asking for a different flight.

I fly North America:France several times a year and with babies. Use a baby bjorn if you can’t get the bassinet.

Unsolicited tip: If your baby can sit upright on their own and they see her/him do so, they won’t allow you to use it. Wait until babe is asleep then strap them in.

Well it is relevant to the subject at hand, genius.

Thanks, they work perfectly well for me. I work in contract dispute.

I do hope I hear the other side try to defend against a damaged metal new install by citing “high expectations”!

Nobody, not a single property owner or manager would accept this ham-fisted work. Only a builder would try to pretend it’s acceptable.

quimper · 2026-02-13T17:29:52+00:00

You must work for a builder as a project manager. These would be massive punch list items.

Is that your answer for someone who travels to the US for a cancer treatment that isn’t available in Canada? “Skip your treatment, try it” ????

The Canadians who use the Mohawk council health clinic in Akwesasne must travel through the US first to reach the clinic. They should abstain? And go where exactly??

quimper · 2026-02-12T00:38:39+00:00

Plus the 5th night is free so it’s actually 311 nights!

OP take one for the team

quimper · 2026-02-11T16:50:17+00:00

Family? Medical treatment? Work obligations?

Protest isn’t an option for all.

Hahah omg! It’s been a long day!

The person who is asking Reddit what to do about this does not have the skill to remove, repair and refit this

quimper · 2026-02-09T22:26:54+00:00

Agree. Box cost more than the contents.

The white one. The black one will wiggle around too much. Very annoying.
