Guide: compensation for Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Barcelona to Gothenborg

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Norwegian Air Shuttle failed to meet its timetable for your Barcelona → Gothenborg flight, EU law backs you up.

Whether you paid €50 or €500, the compensation remains the same: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 1 958 km} matters, not the ticket price. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Norwegian Air Shuttle from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.
