Flight compensation KLM Royal Dutch Airlines:
Amsterdam — Copenhagen

Get your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight compensation for the route Amsterdam - Copenhagen

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If KLM Royal Dutch Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Amsterdam - Copenhagen flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 633 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Amsterdam - Copenhagen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate you?

• 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 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Amsterdam - Copenhagen flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
