Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Chania — Helsinki

Claim and compensation for flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Chania - Helsinki

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

Given the route between Chania and Helsinki (2 757 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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 Chania - Helsinki is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle offers you a voucher for your Chania - Helsinki flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Chania, 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 Helsinki.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Chania 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Chania - Helsinki trip is due to an internal strike within Norwegian Air Shuttle, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Chania, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Norwegian Air Shuttle.

What are your rights at Chania 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 Chania 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?

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Chania to Helsinki Vantaa Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Norwegian Air Shuttle on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Norwegian Air Shuttle's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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.
