How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the Copenhagen (CPH) - London (LGW) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Norwegian Air Shuttle did not respect its scheduled times for your Copenhagen - London flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 984 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Norwegian Air Shuttle to pay you financial compensation.

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: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 984 km (~1h14)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
