Procedure: Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation from Moscow to Oslo

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 606 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO)
  • Arrival airport: Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL)
  • Flight distance: 1 606 km (~2h00)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Moscow - Oslo is eligible?

For an Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Moscow to Oslo, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Scandinavian Airlines System sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Sheremetyevo International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Scandinavian Airlines System to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Oslo.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Moscow airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Scandinavian Airlines System (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Moscow, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Oslo Gardermoen Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Moscow - Oslo flight.

What are your rights at Moscow airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Sheremetyevo International Airport, Scandinavian Airlines System must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Scandinavian Airlines System?

The amicable route with Scandinavian Airlines System to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Scandinavian Airlines System website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Scandinavian Airlines System to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Scandinavian Airlines System systems.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Scandinavian Airlines System is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Scandinavian Airlines System without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Moscow.
