Eke40seven: My friend... it has always been like that with French or Turkish Airlines. I am not a Nigerian citizen (I travel with one of European passports). And yet, back in 2003 I had to sleep over at CDG because the mumu agent who was booking my ticket Nigeria-Europe-Nigeria did not realise that there is only like 10 minutes between my landing in Paris (on my way from my home country to Nigeria via Paris) and the departure of my flight to Nigeria which was not enough time to change flights. Only one nice lady at the airport (staff!) directed me to terminal B which was the only terminal open during the night, for people stranded like me, so I have spent the night there along with a bunch of Russians (which was fine, at least someone to talk to). It wasn't directly the fault of Air France. However, if not for the nice (French) lady who told me where to go I would keep wandering around till morning. On another occasion, I came to France by car for some business... Try to order your meal if you don't speak French, hahahahaha. of course there are some nice people in France. But, unless you meet someone you personally know, most likely they will refuse to help unless you speak their language. I have never experienced that sort of attitude in Germany of Netherlands. Not ONCE!!! And that is why I will use Air France only as the last solution. To me, it goes in this particular order (if I can afford the ticket, that is): 1. Lufthansa 2. Turkish Airlines 3. all other airlines going my way 10. Air France And mark my words, whatever the reason is for this delayed/cancelled flight, they will not do a thing to help the stranded passengers. Germans, at least, would provide makeshift beds, some water and some basic food, for those who can't go out of the airport. Oh, anyway, according to some EU regulations, if the flight originates from the EU, or has the final destination in the EU, it IS subjected to laws and regulations related to cancelled or delayed flights. I advice ALL passengers on that flight to file a class action lawsuit against Air France if they don't do anything about it. 3 Likes |

scooby12: Compensation? Companies get away with what they can. It takes government actions to bring them to book which is why they will accommodate and pamper US, Canadian, Australian, UK citizens but will not give a damn about the citizens of inconsequential nations because there are no consequences. \ 1 Like |

DrMuzungu:I wonder where you visited in France but I must say that it is very unfair to expect every French person you come across to understand English. Britain and France are the main colonialists in Europe and their citizens are the ones least likely to learn other languages for obvious reasons. |

This is normal for Air France. They only provide hotel accommodation for those with European passport or valid entry visa to Paris. If not, you are sleeping in the airport. Itβs been the norm for years |

One of the most irritating useless and carefree people on heart are the French guys. If you find your self even going through their airport Just prepare your self mentally. They will purposely be speaking French?interogatting you,checking your visa as if you went to print it from goggle. Very rude people. Even pregnant women have no special treatment. They are one of the scums on earth apart from Nigerian leaders. |

claremont:Are you making assumptions or out of experience? The immigration officers and workers at the airport are mostly of french speaking African descents and some French natives them selves. Ask any Nigerian living in Europe who doesn't speak French going through Paris, they will explain better. |

seangy4konji: So true. I experienced this in 2010 at Charles De Gaule airport. Immediately I exited the plane, someone was checking passport. The way they went through my passport and visa! It was so embarrassing for me. It was as if I sneaked into the plane from Nigeria. I dont like transiting there. If you make a mistake like missing your boaring gate you will know they are insulting you from the way they are speaking french to you. 1 Like |

Air France is the worst airline ever, their meals give food poisoning, and the crew staff are so racist and rude. No body should ever use Airfrance ever. |

Well, my experience is mine own. I love Air France, so much so that I specifically seek them to fly. They fly the A380 from Paris to Los Angeles and I just love that aircraft. I've never experienced any bad customer service with them. The way I handle delay is to remain calm and collected. If the worst thing that can happen is a delay then I would be grateful because lots could be worse on an entity that is about to transport me at 35,000 feet and at ~500mph. |
