Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Gdansk — Copenhagen

Procedure: Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation from Gdansk to Copenhagen

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 395 km of flight, the company Scandinavian Airlines System is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Gdansk - Copenhagen is eligible?

For an Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Gdansk to Copenhagen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Scandinavian Airlines System is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport, Scandinavian Airlines System must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
