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

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Gothenborg and Amsterdam with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 764 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If KLM Royal Dutch Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.
