Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Warsaw — Barcelona

How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the Warsaw (WAW) - Barcelona (BCN) line

From Warsaw Chopin Airport airport, your departure with Norwegian Air Shuttle to Barcelona didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 870 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.

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 Warsaw - Barcelona is eligible?

For an Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Warsaw to Barcelona, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Norwegian Air Shuttle WAW-BCN flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Warsaw.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Barcelona.

• 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 Barcelona International 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Warsaw Chopin Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Norwegian Air Shuttle must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Warsaw.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Warsaw Chopin Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Norwegian Air Shuttle.
