Air France is fined over ‘no show’ penalty
Air France was wrong to make a passenger buy a new more expensive ticket for the return leg of a trip after he missed the outbound flight, a court has ruled.

The firm was told to refund the ticket, and pay €500 in damages and €800 in costs.
The man’s lawyer told the Toulouse court that the practice was contrary to Air France’s terms, which only permit the charging of a supplement.
