Refund and compensation Scandinavian Airlines System: route Birmingham to Copenhagen

If your trip departing from Birmingham International Airport and arriving at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport operated by Scandinavian Airlines System was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Birmingham International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 002 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Scandinavian Airlines System, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Birmingham - Copenhagen is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Copenhagen. If Scandinavian Airlines System made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Birmingham 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 Birmingham - Copenhagen trip is due to an internal strike within Scandinavian Airlines System, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Birmingham International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Scandinavian Airlines System has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Scandinavian Airlines System for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Birmingham shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BHX-CPH trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Scandinavian Airlines System?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Scandinavian Airlines System boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Birmingham International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Scandinavian Airlines System. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Birmingham 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 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
