How to be compensated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Stockholm (ARN) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 152 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
