Vietnam Airlines EU261 Compensation — up to €600
Vietnam Airlines (IATA: VN) connects Europe to Hanoi (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) via direct flights from Paris, London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam. As a non-EU carrier, EU261 applies when your flight departed from a UK or EU airport. The Paris Vietnamese community is one of the largest in Europe — and France's 5-year claim window means delays from 2021 may still be claimable.
