How to be compensated by Scandinavian Airlines System on the Istanbul (IST) - Aalborg (AAL) line

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 216 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Istanbul - Aalborg is eligible?

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