How do I reach Air France customer service?

Call the Air France customer service number

To speak with Air France on the phone, call the Air France U.S. customer service number at 1-800-237-2747 (toll-free).

For example, if your flight has been canceled, click on “Delayed or canceled flight,” and you’ll find more information on the topic, such as:

My flight is canceled. What are my options?
I need help with rebooking my flight online.
I want to check the status of a flight.
I would like to request compensation due to a delayed or canceled flight.
I want to request written proof of a delayed or canceled flight.

Does Air France offer refunds for canceled flights?

Air France allows refunds on Flex fare types, but nonrefundable tickets, such as those booked into Light and Standard fare classes, aren’t eligible for refunds when you cancel. Additionally, you’ll have to pay a fee to change a Light fare, whereas Standard and Flex fares allow for free changes.

If you purchased your airfare directly through Air France, log in to your Flying Blue account and go to “My Bookings.” Pick the flight you want to cancel or change and follow the instructions. If you’re not sure which fare type you purchased or whether your ticket can be canceled or changed, click on “View ticket conditions” for more information.

If you wish to cancel an award ticket booked with Flying Blue miles, a fee of $53 (50 euros) will be applied. As a reminder, you’ll have to call the Flying Blue line and not the Air France customer service phone number for questions regarding tickets booked with miles.
