Get your Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation for the route London - Nice

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 001 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: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Arrival airport: Nice (NCE)
  • Flight distance: 1 001 km (~1h15)
  • 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.
