Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Hamburg — Barcelona

How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the Hamburg (HAM) - Barcelona (BCN) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 493 km of flight, the company Norwegian Air Shuttle is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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.

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

The compensation for flight HAM-BCN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Hamburg Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Barcelona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Hamburg 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Barcelona International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Hamburg - Barcelona flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Hamburg Airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Hamburg Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
