Procedure: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation from Los Angeles to Copenhagen
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Los Angeles and Copenhagen with Norwegian Air Shuttle? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 9 029 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 600 €?
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: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
- Flight distance: 9 029 km (~11h17)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
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 Los Angeles - Copenhagen is eligible?
For an Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Los Angeles to Copenhagen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Norwegian Air Shuttle sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

-

-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Los Angeles airport.

Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Norwegian Air Shuttle (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Los Angeles, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Norwegian Air Shuttle staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Los Angeles airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Los Angeles International Airport airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Los Angeles International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
On the LAX-CPH line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Norwegian Air Shuttle's legal department.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Los Angeles - Copenhagen 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 first refusal from Norwegian Air Shuttle should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
For your 600 €, don't compromise with Norwegian Air Shuttle without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Los Angeles.
