Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Athens — Oslo

Procedure: Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation from Athens to Oslo

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Scandinavian Airlines System did not respect its scheduled times for your Athens - Oslo flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 629 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Scandinavian Airlines System Athens - Oslo is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Scandinavian Airlines System owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Scandinavian Airlines System ATH-OSL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Athens.

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

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

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
