How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the New York (JFK) - Bergen (BGO) line

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 5 604 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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.
