Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Barcelona — Stockholm

Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Barcelona and Stockholm

The BCN - ARN route operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 315 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Norwegian Air Shuttle, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Barcelona - Stockholm is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Stockholm. If Norwegian Air Shuttle made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Barcelona, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Norwegian Air Shuttle to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Stockholm.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Barcelona airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Norwegian Air Shuttle (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

A work stoppage of Norwegian Air Shuttle crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Norwegian Air Shuttle is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Norwegian Air Shuttle for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Barcelona remains valid. The hotel is due if Norwegian Air Shuttle offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Norwegian Air Shuttle boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Barcelona International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Norwegian Air Shuttle sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Barcelona can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Barcelona - Stockholm line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Norwegian Air Shuttle will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
