Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Oslo — Athens

Get your Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation for the route Oslo - Athens

From Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport, your departure with Scandinavian Airlines System to Athens didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 629 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Scandinavian Airlines System to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The compensation for flight OSL-ATH is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

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 €.

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Scandinavian Airlines System must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Oslo.

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

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

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Scandinavian Airlines System will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
