Procedure: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation from Thira to London
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Norwegian Air Shuttle did not respect its scheduled times for your Thira - London flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 611 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 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Santorini Airport (JTR)
- Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
- Flight distance: 2 611 km (~3h16)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Thira - London is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at London Gatwick Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Norwegian Air Shuttle owes you 400 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Norwegian Air Shuttle JTR-LGW flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Thira.
What are the conditions for Norwegian Air Shuttle to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Thira 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 Thira, 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
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Thira - London trip is due to an internal strike within Norwegian Air Shuttle, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Thira, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Norwegian Air Shuttle.
What are your rights at Thira airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Santorini Airport airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Santorini Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at London Gatwick Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
