Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Gothenborg — Stockholm

Procedure: Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation from Gothenborg to Stockholm

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Scandinavian Airlines System did not respect its scheduled times for your Gothenborg - Stockholm flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 394 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Gothenborg - Stockholm is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Gothenburg-Landvetter 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 Stockholm.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gothenborg 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

Don't be fooled by Scandinavian Airlines System's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Gothenborg, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Scandinavian Airlines System.

What are your rights at Gothenborg 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 Gothenborg.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Scandinavian Airlines System.

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

Don't take Scandinavian Airlines System's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Scandinavian Airlines System will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
