Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Munich — Oslo

Legal right to compensation: Scandinavian Airlines System flight between Munich and Oslo

If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Oslo Gardermoen Airport operated by Scandinavian Airlines System was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Munich International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 309 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Scandinavian Airlines System, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Munich - Oslo is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Oslo. If Scandinavian Airlines System made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 309 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

Don't be fooled by Scandinavian Airlines System's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Scandinavian Airlines System is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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