Flight compensation Air Canada:
Amsterdam — Copenhagen

Recover up to 250€ for Air Canada flight Amsterdam → Copenhagen

The stress of a cancellation at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol towards Copenhagen with Air Canada gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Air Canada breaches its duties on the 633 km route from Amsterdam to Copenhagen.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amsterdam airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Canada (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
