The good news is, for this journey of 8 863 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Norwegian Air Shuttle to provide financial compensation. Long-haul flights qualify for the highest compensation tier.

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

  • Arrival airport: Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN)
  • Flight distance: 8 863 km (~11h05)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Los Angeles - Stockholm is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Norwegian Air Shuttle owes you 600€.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Los Angeles, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

In all cases, careful analysis of flight logs will confirm whether the causes cited were truly extraordinary. For a long-haul, an ATC strike can have cascading effects on your arrival at Stockholm.
