Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Munich — Stockholm

How to be compensated by Scandinavian Airlines System on the Munich (MUC) - Stockholm (ARN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Munich and Stockholm 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 1 317 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Munich - Stockholm is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Scandinavian Airlines System owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Munich International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• 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 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Munich - Stockholm trip is due to an internal strike within Scandinavian Airlines System, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Munich International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Scandinavian Airlines System has no control.

What are your rights at Munich 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 Munich International Airport, Scandinavian Airlines System must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Munich International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
