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

Check your real landing time at Bangkok. If Scandinavian Airlines System delayed you over 3h at Suvarnabhumi Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.

Even if Scandinavian Airlines System reroutes you, the 600€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Bangkok exceeds 3 hours.

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

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Copenhagen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

Be wary by Scandinavian Airlines System's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Long-haul flights are often even more impacted by crew strikes.

It's worth noting that the obligation to prove rests on Scandinavian Airlines System. It is the carrier's responsibility to demonstrate that the disruption of your Copenhagen-Bangkok flight results from a truly unforeseeable event.

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

Here is what Scandinavian Airlines System owes you during a prolonged wait at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.
