How to be compensated by Scandinavian Airlines System on the Beijing (PEK) - Copenhagen (CPH) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Beijing and Copenhagen with Scandinavian Airlines System? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 194 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Scandinavian Airlines System to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 Beijing - Copenhagen is eligible?

The compensation for flight PEK-CPH is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Scandinavian Airlines System sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Beijing Capital International Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Beijing - Copenhagen trip is due to an internal strike within Scandinavian Airlines System, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Beijing, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Scandinavian Airlines System.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Scandinavian Airlines System must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Beijing.

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

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Scandinavian Airlines System?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Scandinavian Airlines System.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Beijing to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Beijing can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Scandinavian Airlines System convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
