Refund and compensation Air Canada: route Copenhagen to Warsaw

If your trip departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and arriving at Warsaw Chopin Airport operated by Air Canada was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Copenhagen and Warsaw (666 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Canada.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)
  • Flight distance: 666 km (~0h50)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Air Canada is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air Canada Copenhagen - Warsaw is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Copenhagen and Warsaw entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air Canada to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Copenhagen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Canada compensation

If your Air Canada flight from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Copenhagen airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Copenhagen Kastrup Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Canada?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air Canada boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CPH-WAW to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

On the CPH-WAW line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air Canada's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Copenhagen - Warsaw section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Canada is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Air Canada without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Copenhagen.
