Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route Prague to Helsinki

Your claim for compensation for the Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Prague to Helsinki deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Prague and Helsinki (1 320 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Norwegian Air Shuttle, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Prague - Helsinki is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Prague and Helsinki entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 320 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Prague - Helsinki flight.

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

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

Your forced stay at Prague shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PRG-HEL trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

For your Prague - Helsinki trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Norwegian Air Shuttle staff at the Ruzyn? International Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Norwegian Air Shuttle to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Prague - Helsinki 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.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Norwegian Air Shuttle is often more striking.
