Risposta rapida
Pointe-à-Pitre to Paris is about 6,751 km, so compensation is €400 per passenger under Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) for delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations and denied boarding, on any airline. The airline can only refuse by proving extraordinary circumstances; the return direction has its own rules.

Ritardo, cancellazione o coincidenza persa in questa direzione
- In ritardo
- 400 € per passeggero sono dovuti quando almeno una porta si apre a Paris Orly Airport tre ore o più dopo l’arrivo previsto; il ritardo alla partenza da Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport non conta. Da 4 ore di ritardo la compagnia deve pasti e comunicazioni qualunque sia la causa, e da 5 ore puoi rinunciare al viaggio e chiedere il rimborso.
- Cancellato
- Gli stessi 400 € per passeggero sono dovuti quando la compagnia ti ha informato meno di 14 giorni prima della partenza senza riproteggerti entro le finestre di legge (al massimo 2 ore prima e meno di 4 ore dopo con 7–14 giorni di preavviso; 1 ora e 2 ore sotto i 7 giorni). Rimborso o riprotezione, e assistenza durante l’attesa, sono dovuti in ogni caso.
- Coincidenza persa
- Se Paris Orly Airport non è la tua destinazione finale ed entrambi i voli erano su una sola prenotazione, il ritardo si misura dove finisce il viaggio e l’importo sulla distanza da Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport a quell’aeroporto finale (Folkerts, C-11/11), anche se il volo successivo è fuori dall’Europa. Con biglietti separati ogni volo è valutato da solo, e una coincidenza persa non è responsabilità della prima compagnia.

Which rules apply on this direction
Flights from Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport (PTP) to Paris Orly Airport (ORY) depart Guadeloupe, so Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (EU261) applies to every airline that operates the route. The great-circle distance is 6,751 km (over 3,500 km but between two EU airports), which puts the fixed compensation at €400 per passenger for a delay of three hours or more at arrival, a cancellation announced less than 14 days ahead without a close replacement, or involuntary denied boarding.
Both airports are in the EU, so the intra-Community cap applies: the amount stays at €400 even though the distance exceeds 3,500 km.
Whatever the cause, care starts earlier than compensation on this long-distance flight: after 4 hours of delay at Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport the airline owes meals and communication, and after 5 hours you may abandon the trip and demand a refund of the unused ticket.

About this route
Orly–Pointe-à-Pitre links mainland France with Guadeloupe, an EU outermost region. The flight is intra-EU despite the distance, so compensation is capped at €400, and downgrade reimbursement is 75 % rather than 50 % (the French overseas departments are carved out of the 50 % tier).
Domande frequenti
Is a delayed or cancelled flight from Pointe-à-Pitre to Paris covered by EU Regulation 261/2004?
Yes, on any airline: the flight departs from Guadeloupe, so EU Regulation 261/2004 applies whatever the carrier's nationality. Whether compensation is due then depends on the disruption — an arrival delay of three hours or more, a cancellation announced less than 14 days ahead, or denied boarding — and on the cause.
How much compensation for a delayed or cancelled Pointe-à-Pitre to Paris flight?
400 € per passenger for a 6,751 km flight, if the disruption qualifies and no extraordinary circumstance is proven. It is the same for every fare and does not depend on the ticket price; a re-routing that gets you there within the Article 7(2) time limits can halve it.
What if the airline rejects my claim for a Pointe-à-Pitre to Paris flight?
Reply once in writing asking for the facts behind the refusal, then escalate outside the airline. Air France, Transavia France: no ADR scheme on file for this country — complain to the enforcement body instead.
Do the same rules apply on the way back, from Paris to Pointe-à-Pitre?
Not entirely. On the return flight the regime is the same; the competent enforcement body is Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC); the court deadline follows the other country. Each direction is judged on its own departure.
