Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Milan — Stockholm

Legal payout: Scandinavian Airlines System flight Milan → Stockholm

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Scandinavian Airlines System didn't honour its scheduled times for your Milan - Stockholm flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 681 km, Scandinavian Airlines System is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Scandinavian Airlines System from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

Whether your Scandinavian Airlines System flight Milan→Stockholm was cancelled or you were bumped, the 400€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Linate Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 400€ indemnity.

• 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 Milan airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Scandinavian Airlines System (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Picture the situation: stranded for hours at Linate Airport, with no clear information about when you'll fly. In this scenario, Scandinavian Airlines System has no right to abandon you. CE 261 is clear.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Scandinavian Airlines System must also cover your hotel night close to Linate Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
