Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Oslo — Bodo

How to be compensated by Scandinavian Airlines System on the Oslo (OSL) - Bodo (BOO) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 811 km of flight, the company Scandinavian Airlines System is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Oslo - Bodo is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Oslo Gardermoen 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 Bodo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Oslo 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 Oslo - Bodo trip is due to an internal strike within Scandinavian Airlines System, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Oslo, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Scandinavian Airlines System.

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

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € 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 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
