Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Bucharest — Copenhagen

Legal right to compensation: Scandinavian Airlines System flight between Bucharest and Copenhagen

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

Given the route between Bucharest and Copenhagen (1 552 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Scandinavian Airlines System.

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.

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 Bucharest - Copenhagen is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Bucharest and Copenhagen entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € 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 Bucharest 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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Bucharest - Copenhagen flight.

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