Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Oslo — Riga

Claim and compensation for flight Scandinavian Airlines System Oslo - Riga

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

Given the route between Oslo and Riga (828 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Scandinavian Airlines System.

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 Oslo - Riga is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Oslo and Riga entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Riga.
• 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

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 250 €.

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

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Oslo Gardermoen Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Oslo shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your OSL-RIX trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Scandinavian Airlines System?

Starting a procedure against Scandinavian Airlines System for a flight from Oslo to Riga can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight OSL-RIX to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Scandinavian Airlines System. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Oslo can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Scandinavian Airlines System's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Scandinavian Airlines System convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
