Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
London — Thira

Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between London and Thira

The LGW - JTR route operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from London Gatwick Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 611 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

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 London - Thira is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Thira. If Norwegian Air Shuttle made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Santorini Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from London, the regulation applies in the same way.

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

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

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at London Gatwick Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

If London Gatwick Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Norwegian Air Shuttle, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at London remains valid. The hotel is due if Norwegian Air Shuttle offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the London - Thira section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by Norwegian Air Shuttle is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.
