Wanting a refund for cancelled Air France flights

I had two flights to Tokyo with Air France that were bought directly from Air France. We were due to fly in May and they cancelled the flights. 

I filled in an online form to ask for a refund and six weeks later I got an email saying I should have filled in an online form on the Air France UK website (which is what I thought I'd already done - it was in English after all!). 

A month later I get an email saying I need to reply to the email if I want a refund or I can fill in an online form!

I've had enough of this and followed the advice on Paul Lewis's blog and have written to their legal dept enclosing a copy of my waiting-to-be-submitted money claim online, saying I'll submit it if I don't get my refund within a week.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had success getting a refund from Air France?

    So after they told you which site to use did you complete the new form?

    Enough of what?
    Just follow their procedure for a refund, go to https://www.airfrance.co.uk/ and enter your booking details. Why make it hard on yourself. I bet most of the global .com sites for companies are in English.

    One of my work colleagues did it, no problem. Although there was over a month's wait I think.

    "Enough of what?"

    Enough of waiting,  filling in an online form, filling in another after six weeks, waiting 4 weeks and then getting an email asking me to fill in an online form!

    To be fair at least some of the delay seems to be your error. Patience is s virtue
