The clause for “extraordinary circumstances” only affects a potential air flight compensation claim. If the flight is canceled due to extraordinary circumstances and you choose not to rebook, then you may still receive a refund.

For the most part, Air France takes around 1 to 2 weeks to send the refund your way. That said, depending on your payment provider or bank, it could take a couple of extra days. However, it’s safe to assume that the money should reach your account within a maximum of 30 days.

Yes, if you still want to make the trip, you can rebook a different flight. Still, bear in mind that refunds are only given if you don’t make the trip anymore. However, you may receive a money difference if your flight was downgraded.

This depends on the circumstances, but sometimes, you should also be able to get compensation for your canceled flights. The airline is under the regulation of EC 261/2004, meaning they have to notify you two weeks before a cancellation. If they fail to do so, you might also be able to receive compensation, depending on how many days there are until the departure.
