Get your Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation for the route Malaga - Copenhagen

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 472 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 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Malaga (AGP)
  • Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Flight distance: 2 472 km (~3h05)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Malaga - Copenhagen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Scandinavian Airlines System owes you 400 €.

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 400 €.
