Refund and reimbursement for Scandinavian Airlines System: Aberdeen to Stavanger

The endless wait at Aberdeen Dyce Airport towards Stavanger with Scandinavian Airlines System doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Aberdeen Dyce Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 497 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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 cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Aberdeen - Stavanger is eligible?

To determine if your journey between Aberdeen and Stavanger qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Stavanger Airport, Sola}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Even if Scandinavian Airlines System offers a replacement flight, the 250€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Stavanger is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Scandinavian Airlines System to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Stavanger.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Aberdeen airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Scandinavian Airlines System (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
