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

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Stockholm and Athens with Scandinavian Airlines System? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 452 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 400 €?

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.
