Legal right: Austrian Airlines flight between Vienna and Oslo

If your journey from Vienna International Airport to Oslo Gardermoen Airport operated by Austrian Airlines was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Austrian Airlines flight Vienna - Oslo (1 382 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
  • Arrival airport: Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL)
  • Flight distance: 1 382 km (~1h44)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Austrian Airlines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Vienna - Oslo is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Oslo|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Austrian Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Austrian Airlines.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

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

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