Flight compensation Finnair:
Helsinki — Nagoya

Claim up to 600€ for Finnair flight Helsinki - Nagoya

Your compensation claim for the Finnair flight from Helsinki to Nagoya has strong chances. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Finnair fails its obligations on the 7 761 km route from Helsinki to Nagoya.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Finnair.
