Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route Copenhagen to Krakow

The CPH - KRK 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 779 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Krakow (KRK)
  • Flight distance: 779 km (~0h58)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Norwegian Air Shuttle.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Copenhagen - Krakow is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Copenhagen and Krakow entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 779 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Copenhagen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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 Copenhagen - Krakow trip is due to an internal strike within Norwegian Air Shuttle, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Copenhagen, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Norwegian Air Shuttle.

What are your rights at Copenhagen 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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

Starting a procedure against Norwegian Air Shuttle for a flight from Copenhagen to Krakow can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CPH-KRK to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Norwegian Air Shuttle. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen - Krakow line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Norwegian Air Shuttle convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
