Procedure: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation from Helsinki to Prague
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Norwegian Air Shuttle did not respect its scheduled times for your Helsinki - Prague flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 320 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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: Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)
- Arrival airport: Ruzyn? International Airport (PRG)
- Flight distance: 1 320 km (~1h39)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
