Get your Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation for the route Hannover - Copenhagen
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Scandinavian Airlines System did not respect its scheduled times for your Hannover - Copenhagen flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 401 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Scandinavian Airlines System to pay you financial compensation.
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.

- Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
- Flight distance: 401 km (~0h30)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Hannover - Copenhagen is eligible?

Keeping your travel documents for the Scandinavian Airlines System HAJ-CPH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Hannover.
What are the conditions for Scandinavian Airlines System to compensate you?

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation
A work stoppage of Scandinavian Airlines System crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.
A strike by weather services at Hannover Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Scandinavian Airlines System has no control.

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Hannover Airport airport, Scandinavian Airlines System is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Hannover Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
