Flight compensation British Airways:
Bergen — Billund

Legal right to compensation: British Airways flight between Bergen and Billund

If your trip departing from Bergen Airport, Flesland and arriving at Billund Airport operated by British Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Bergen and Billund (557 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by British Airways.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like British Airways.

How to know if the flight British Airways Bergen - Billund is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 557 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for British Airways to compensate you?

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